Lophophora is a tiny genus of low-growing, spineless, Central American cacti. The best-known species is Lophophora williamsii generally called peyote. It happens in the Chihuahuan desert on the border of southern Texas as well as northern Mexico, normally growing in desert scrub locations on limestone. These little plants are sluggish growing, taking take thirty years before they initially flower in the wild. In farming, plants often tend to blossom more quickly and react well to being implanted. The pink or white blossoms are followed by edible, pink fruit. The distinct tufts of hairs are the source of the name Lophophora which implies 'crest-bearing'. Peyote has a long history of human use. The lophophora williamsii cactus includes the psychedelic alkaloid mescaline. It has been made use of to engender modified states of awareness, potentially for as long as 7,000 years. Commonly, the tops of plants are thoroughly removed, allowing the plant the possibility to re-grow. These pieces are then dried and consumed. Ingestion leads to sensations of extreme nausea or vomiting followed by hallucinations. Medicinal uses of mescaline have been suggested for the treatment of alcoholism. In Native American cultures there are lots of medicinal uses as well as spiritual ones. In the USA peyote can be gathered and also made use of for spiritual functions. Lophophora williamsii is now identified as at risk with a decreasing population. Long utilized for religious and medicinal purposes by native individuals, Lophophora williamsii is popular for its psychedelic alkaloids, primarily mescaline, which are focused in the little, photosynthetic, above-ground section of the stem. Experienced peyoteros harvest only the leading few millimeters of the stem, leaving the deeply recessed apical meristem, therefore enabling regrowth. The plants live for lots of decades and expand extremely gradually. Anhalonium, a later name for Ariocarpus, has been related to varieties of Lophophora, and was widely utilized in older pharmaceutical literature.
