Histoire : History: An ancient legend gave to this plant the property to tame the wild animals if it was infused before in wine.
The onager (Oenethera) comes from the Greek ` Oïnos' (wine) and ` Ther' (wild beast). The Onager is also called gardener’s ham or grass of the donkeys.
Indeed, it is a French botanist who baptized the plant like this because of its leaves in the shape of ears of a donkey.
This plant was born on the Northern American continent.
The Indians used it for its medicinal virtues :
In external application: cataplasms to relieve the wounds, the abscesses, etc...
Roots infusion to calm the cough down. The Indians also used the roots as food.
It is only in the 18th century that this plant appears in Europe.
Indeed, the European ships back in their country often supplemented their cargo with soil from the American ground to ballast the ships.
