Mormon Tea (including Ephedra culteri, Ephedra fasciculata, Ephedra nevadensis, Ephedra torreyana, Ephedra trifurca, and Ephedra viridis) is a vascular plant. Most plants are vascular plants - nonvascular plants are those without true leaves, such as moss and algae.

Mormon Tea, as an Ephedra, was a common pioneer remedy for many ailments, such as Asthma, hay fever, nasal or chest congestion, and the common cold. It is called a 'tea' because the plant was boiled in water and then drank. Scientists believe the medicinal use of Ephedra plants is believed to have begun over 60,000 years ago. Ephedra is still available as a common herbal remedy in many health food and dietary supplement stores.
