In Omani studies: Pickering & Patzelt (2008) wrote that: "Buds are edible and much appreciated. Dried hair from the seeds is used for kindling. Small mammals shelter under this plant in the day". (Ref. Field Guide to the Wild Plants of Oman; 2008). In addition, Ghazanfar (2015) mentioned that: "An infusion made from branches and stems has been used as a diuretic in traditional medicine. Dried hair tufts of seeds were used by Bedouins for tinder and may be the reason for its specific epithet “pyrotechnica”. Browsed by goats and camels (Ref. Flora of Oman; vol.3).
