Devil's claw (Proboscidea parviflora)

Science

Plants
I need the translation for the common name, "devil's claw". I've been searching for hours. I found "uña de gato" in many references. The problem is that when I look up uña de gato, I also come up with another scientific name "uncaria tormentosa", which leads me to believe that uña de gato is incorrect. I've also found one or two links that translate it as "garra del diablo", but they are very few, and I don't know if I can trust them.
What I need is some sort of confirmation of the correct translation, using a reference that is conclusive. By the way, this has to do with a plant found by the Jornada Mogollon Indians in the Southwest of the US and Mexico.
Thanks to all for you help, as usual.

cuernos del diablo / espuela del diablo
Es posible que encontrés muchos nombres comunes para un solo nombre científico, porque en los diferentes países (inclusive en las diferenes regiones de cada país) le llaman de manera diferente. Sin embargo, me intrigaste con la pregunta y estuve tratando de averiguarte algo más, por eso, leí varios artículos y me parece que una de las opciones es "cuernos del diablo." Te incluyo varias direcciones que posiblemente te servirán de ayuda. Saludos y suerte!

No soy especialista en plantas pero me gana el vicio profesional por la lengua de los romanos, así que busqué el nombre en latín directamente. Como verás, la "uña de gato" es la planta que estás buscando y con la que los nativos hacían canastas. Como dicen los colegas, tiene por lo menos tres nombres. Aquí van los enlaces con las características de la "Proboscidea parviflora":
