CALIFORNIA HORSE-CHESTNUT. A low-spreading tree of the Pacific Coast of the United States. The chestnuts are made into a gruel or soup by the western Indians[1]. The Indians of California pulverize the nut, extract the bitterness by washing with water and form the residue into a cake to be used as food[2]. Sturtevant, Notes on edible plants, 1919.
