I do have a catalog listing about 6 varieties of Devil's Claw cultivated
by the O'odham Indians in the Southwest U.S. Seeds are sold by the
Native Seeds/Search organization. If you are interested, I could get
details when I get home.

My sister is growing one variety in the California High Dessert
(Victorville).

I knew I had seen that genus somewhere before...
