Små, hårda, knottriga frön, "wocus seeds".
Wocus, or yellow pond lily (Nuphar lutea sp.), is found in the Upper Klamath Basin, where it benefits many native species, including the federally-listed shortnose sucker and Lost River sucker. In Upper Klamath Lake, wocus can improve water quality by reducing phosphorus and can provide thermal and predatory refuge for juvenile suckers. In addition, the plant is culturally significant because historically it provided a nutritious food staple during hard winter months for the Klamath Tribes, who refer to it as “WOK’SAM.” Less than 5% of the populations from 200 years ago are estimated to remain, largely due to changes in land management practices.
