Origin and Habitat: Grows in an area that stretches from from the Chihuahuan Desert to the South Texas Plains, on either side of the middle and lower Rio Grande River, southward to the Mexican states of Chihuahua, Coahuila, Durango, Nuevo León, San Luis Potosí, Tamaulipas, Zacatecas. Extensive stands of peyote occur on the low, rocky hills in Starr, Zapata, Webb, and Jim Hogg counties of southern Texas. Altitude: It grows from 100 up to 1900 metres above sea level. Habitat and Ecology: This geophytic, button-like cactus occurs in xerophyllous scrub including Tamaulipan thorn scrub isolated or in groups usually in calcareous deserts, on rocky slopes, or in dried river beds. The species is very abundant in habitat with large number of mature individuals however many subpopulations of Lophophora williamsii are heavily harvested in the wild throughout the range of the species, some to the point of extirpation. In Mexico, collection is illegal and people are punished for collecting it. Land use change for agriculture is a significant threat, as the land is completely ploughed, thus eliminating all vegetation including L. williamsii and its seed bank.

Origin and Habitat: This is the southernmost population of Lophophora endemic of the of the state of Querétaro, México it grows only in a small area in the hight desert in a valley between Vizarron, Bucareli, and Toliman (Extent of occurrence about 300 km²). L. diffusa occurs at the south end of the range of the genus. Altitude: It grows at an elevations of 1,300 to 1,800 metres above sea level. Habitat and Ecology: Driest and stoniest desert Xerophytic shrubland, on calcareous soils where the soil is deep enough to allow the tuberous root to grow. L. diffusa grows mainly beneath the canopy of some locally dominant shrub and possible nurse plant (e.g. Larrea tridentata and Acacia sororia). The species is threatened by illegal collecting and use by indigenous people for medicine, and by collectors for ornamental trade. Collapse...

See all synonyms of Lophophora diffusa Common Names include: ENGLISH: False peyote, Peyote SPANISH (Español): Peyote de Querétaro, Peyote queretano Description: Globular spineless cactus with large tap root. Solitary or forming variable stemmed clumps with few stems or sometime large mounded group with several heads. This is the more primitive species of Lophophora. Stem: 2-7 cm tall, 5-12 cm in diameter (some population have larger stems up to 20-25 cm in diameter) Yellow-green or grey-green, usually lacking well-defined ribs and furrows. Ribs: 5 to 13 the podaria are rarely elevated, wavy, broad and flat. Areoles: With tufts of hairs that usually spread unequally on the prominent podaria. Flowers: Commonly whitish to yellowish-white (or pinkish white), 1,5-3 centimetres in diameter. Note: Lophophora diffusa is geographically isolated, but questionably distinct from Lophophora williamsii. Subspecies, varieties, forms and cultivars of plants belonging to the Lophophora diffusa group Lophophora diffusa (Croizat) Bravo: Globular spineless cactus with large tap root. Solitary or forming variable stemmed clumps. Stem yellow-green or grey-green, usually lacking well-defined ribs and furrows. Lophophora diffusa var. koehresii Říha: This is probably the smallest Lophophora. It has big pale pink flowers with darker midstrip. Stem characteristically dark green coloured and the ribs are more strongly in relief. Lophophora diffusa subs. kubesae Halda, Kupčák & Malina: The particularity of this subspecies will be revealed only in older specimens that are larger in size and tend to form large multi-headed heaps, up to 1,5 mt in diameter.

Description: The Latin word "Caespitosa" means “growing in tufts”” or “densely-clumped”, refers to the dense tufts of stems. This name is used to indicate a number of clones of horticultural origin characterized by a more or less accentuated production of axillary shoots that in age grow and form huge cushions. The plants called “caespitosa” are vegetatively reproduced and are often hybrid. Remarks: In the wild habitat solitary and clumping plants are both present and It is not a rare event to find a caespitose seedling in the seedling tray among the more common single headed plants. Some of the caespitose clones produce dozens (or hundreds) of very small shoots each of them never reach the dimension of a flowering plant, thus they are sterile and can be reproduced exclusively by cuttings. Other clones have bigger heads and can produce flowers and seeds. Cultivation and Propagation: Slow growing. Because of the tap root they are very rot prone, so use highly gritty compost with much drainage. Requires half shade to part sun. Watering: waterings should be rather infrequent to keep the plant compact and not to become excessively elongated and unnatural in appearance, watering it properly is often difficult because this plant tends to crack open or rot if over-watered. The fact that the plant retracts into the soil and assume a grey-green colouring between watering, is perfectly natural and doesn’t cause any damage. Overwatering: Keep completely dry and cool in winter (An unheated greenhouse would be perfect) or when night temperatures remain below 10° C, it can survive low temperatures (appr. -7°C) for a short period. Assure a good ventilation. Propagation: Easy to propagate from cuttings in spring (let them dry till the ends callous well). Then replant them in fresh cactus soil that is ever so slightly moist, and keep them that way till they root.

All Lophophora species are extremely slow growing, often taking up to thirty years to reach flowering age in the wild (about the size of a golf ball, not including its root). Human cultivated specimens grow considerably faster, usually taking from six to ten years to go from seedling to mature flowering adult.

Common Names include: ENGLISH: Medicine of God, Devil’s root, Divine herb, Dry whiskey, Cactus pudding, Devil's-root, Diabolic-root, Divine cactus, Dry-whiskey, Dumpling cactus, Indian-dope, Mescal-buttons, Turnip cactus, Peyote, Pellote, Mescal Buttons, Whiskey cactus, White-mule BASQUE (Euskara): Peiote BULGARIAN (Български): Пейот CATALAN (Català): Peiot CHINESE (中文): 烏羽玉 CZECH (Čeština): Peyotl DANISH (Dansk): Elefantfodkaktus DUTCH (Nederlands): Peyote, Peyotl ESTONIAN (Eesti): Peioote-uimakaktus FINNISH (Suomi): Myrkkykaktus, Meskaliinikaktus FRENCH (Français): Peyotl, Peyote GALICIAN (Galego): Peyote HEBREW (עברית): פיוטה HUICHOL: Hikuri HUNGARIAN (Magyar): Peyotl, Peyote, Meszkalinkaktusz, Pejot ITALIAN (Italiano): Peyote, Mescal JAPANESE (日本語): ウバタマ, ペヨーテ KOREAN (한국어): 페요테 LATVIAN (Latviešu): Peijots LITHUANIAN (Lietuvių): Kvaitulinis pejotlis MACEDONIAN (Македонски): Пејот NAHUATL (Nāhuatl): Peyōtl NORWEGIAN (Bokmål): Peyote POLISH ( Polski): Jazgrza Williamsa PORTUGUESE (Português): Peiote RUSSIAN (Русский): Пейо́тль, Пейо́т, Лофофора Уильямса SLOVENIAN (Slovenščina): Pejotl SPANISH (Español): Peyote, Mescal SWEDISH (Svenska): Peyote TARAHUMARA: Híkuri wanamé, Híkuli wanamé Description: Lophophora williamsii is a solitary or (rarely) caespitose, spineless cactus, normally unicephalous but becoming polycephalous with age or injury, Stem: Glaucous green, dull bluish or greyish green, very succulent, globular, top-shaped, or somewhat flattened up to 6 cm tall, 12 cm diameter, with a woolly top; The subterranean portion of the stem, which is as wide as the aerial portion, extends several cm below the surface of the ground and transitions smoothly (through a thin hypocotyl) into a large taproot which may extend over 25 cm below ground level. Ribs: (5 when young) 7 to 13 (very rarely 4 or 14 ) broad, rounded, straight, or spiralled, often tuberculate, sometimes irregular and indistinct, with transverse furrows forming more or less regular, polyhedral tubercles; Roots: Napiform, usually 8-11 cm long Areoles: Round spineless, bearing flowers only when young with some bunches of long erect, matted, wooly greyish hairs, up to 1 cm long. Flowers: Solitary, campanulate, 1.5-2.5 cm across when open usually pink (rarely whitish) outer perianth segments and scales ventrally greenish. They emerge from the mass of hairs at umbilicate centre of crown each surrounded by a mass of long hairs. Stigma-lobes 5-7, linear, pink. Blooming season: Flowers sporadically throughout summer. Fruits: Club-shaped, red to pinkish, 2 cm long or shorter which can be very delectable and sweet-tasting when eaten. Seeds: Small and black up to1 mm in diameter, with broad basal hilum, tuberculate-roughened. More... Subspecies, varieties, forms and cultivars of plants belonging to the Lophophora williamsii group Lophophora fricii With the exception of the smaller and more pale pink flowers, its appearance corresponds to the appearance of Lophophora Fricii. Lophophora williamsii Globular or somewhat flattened glaucous green or greyish green spineless cactus up to 6 cm tall, 12 cm diameter, with a woolly top; It has a large taproot which may extend over 25 cm below ground level. Lophophora williamsii var. caespitosa This name is used to indicate a number of clones of horticultural origin characterized by a more or less accentuated production of axillary shoots that in age grow and form huge cushions.

All Lophophora species are extremely slow growing, often taking up to thirty years to reach flowering age in the wild (about the size of a golf ball, not including its root). Human cultivated specimens grow considerably faster, usually taking from six to ten years to go from seedling to mature flowering adult. Origin and Habitat: Grows in an area that stretches from from the Chihuahuan Desert to the South Texas Plains, on either side of the middle and lower Rio Grande River, southward to the Mexican states of Chihuahua, Coahuila, Durango, Nuevo León, San Luis Potosí, Tamaulipas, Zacatecas. Extensive stands of peyote occur on the low, rocky hills in Starr, Zapata, Webb, and Jim Hogg counties of southern Texas. Altitude: It grows from 100 up to 1900 metres above sea level. Habitat and Ecology: This geophytic, button-like cactus occurs in xerophyllous scrub including Tamaulipan thorn scrub isolated or in groups usually in calcareous deserts, on rocky slopes, or in dried river beds. The species is very abundant in habitat with large number of mature individuals however many subpopulations of Lophophora williamsii are heavily harvested in the wild throughout the range of the species, some to the point of extirpation.

The species is very abundant in habitat with large number of mature individuals however many subpopulations of Lophophora williamsii are heavily harvested in the wild throughout the range of the species, some to the point of extirpation. In Mexico, collection is illegal and people are punished for collecting it. Land use change for agriculture is a significant threat, as the land is completely ploughed, thus eliminating all vegetation including L. williamsii and its seed bank. Lophophora williamsii (Lem. ex Salm-Dyck) J.M.Coult.: Globular or somewhat flattened glaucous green or greyish green spineless cactus up to 6 cm tall, 12 cm diameter, with a woolly top; It has a large taproot which may extend over 25 cm below ground level.

All Lophophora species are extremely slow growing, often taking up to thirty years to reach flowering age in the wild (about the size of a golf ball, not including its root). Human cultivated specimens grow considerably faster, usually taking from six to ten years to go from seedling to mature flowering adult. Origin and Habitat: Grows in an area that stretches from from the Chihuahuan Desert to the South Texas Plains, on either side of the middle and lower Rio Grande River, southward to the Mexican states of Chihuahua, Coahuila, Durango, Nuevo León, San Luis Potosí, Tamaulipas, Zacatecas.

Human cultivated specimens grow considerably faster, usually taking from six to ten years to go from seedling to mature flowering adult. Origin and Habitat: Grows in an area that stretches from from the Chihuahuan Desert to the South Texas Plains, on either side of the middle and lower Rio Grande River, southward to the Mexican states of Chihuahua, Coahuila, Durango, Nuevo León, San Luis Potosí, Tamaulipas, Zacatecas. Extensive stands of peyote occur on the low, rocky hills in Starr, Zapata, Webb, and Jim Hogg counties of southern Texas. Altitude: It grows from 100 up to 1900 metres above sea level. Habitat and Ecology: This geophytic, button-like cactus occurs in xerophyllous scrub including Tamaulipan thorn scrub isolated or in groups usually in calcareous deserts, on rocky slopes, or in dried river beds. The species is very abundant in habitat with large number of mature individuals however many subpopulations of Lophophora williamsii are heavily harvested in the wild throughout the range of the species, some to the point of extirpation. In Mexico, collection is illegal and people are punished for collecting it. Land use change for agriculture is a significant threat, as the land is completely ploughed, thus eliminating all vegetation including L. williamsii and its seed bank.

And want to write, keep it as a record of the favorite Lophophora species If anything is wrong, please apologize here.

Coult. Species: Lophophora williamsii (Lem. Ex Salm-Dyck) J.M. Coult. - Peyote, peyote Lophophora is a generic name. The full name is called Lophophora J.M. Coult. By J.M. Coult comes from Coulter, John Merle, who is the botanist of this species. He is an American botanist. With a life span from birth to death in the years 1851-1928 As with other scientific names, Lophophora comes from two ancient Greek / Latin words with the word "lophos", "lophi" meaning the crest of a hill or helmet and the word "phoro-, phor-, - phora, -phorous, -phoresis, -phore, -phori, -phoria "means to carry, to bear. Overall, Lophophora means crest-bearing Which comes from the top growth characteristics And there is a fluff from the blister or the hill of the thorn that is his top Which is the name of the genus, and let's give an example of the species as well. The first name or the first species to be described is Lophophora williamsii that we know well. Originated in Mexico and southwestern Texas. There is a common name that is the Spanish peyote, which is derived from the word "peyotl" in the ancient Nahuatlan language (ancient Indian language Or local tribes in Mexico a long time ago), but some linguists say that it is a word from the Aztec language. The word "pepyoni" means to excite or the word "pepeyon" that means to activate. Both words have similar meanings. "Awakening symptoms", which is due to the origin and roots of this species, have psychoactive alkaloid substances, especially those of mescaline (hallucinogen), which are substances that affect the nervous system. Causing amnesia Hallucination By the indigenous people in Mexico used as a drug and used for religious ceremonies (as "Divine Messenger" helped to send the message to God) for a long time Which will be boiled with water to drink, similar to drinking tea Or can be dried for storage for a long time And makes the substance more concentrated as well The fact that he had neurotransmitters made many countries banned the sale. Or in possession, such as in the USA and the UK, etc. and recently this tree was used to make wax (ointment) which is sold only in Mexico. In the nursery, there is very little or no amount of mescaline residue. That he had told the story better than the Lophophora williamsii or the peyote.
