In the case of all these non-cacti to which the term peyote has been applied, the plants have exhibited descriptively either a lanuginous or pubescent surface-nap, or balanoid, orchitic, or nut-like root-nodules, and in some cases both; in one case there was a cocoon-shaped pod in addition. But Schultes[6] lists other “peyotes” which may not fit this explanation: Compositae: _Senecio calophyllus_ Hemsl., _S. Hartwegii_ Benth., _S. ovatiformis_ Sch. Bip., _S. Petasitus_ DC and _Cacalia_ spp. (e.g., _C. cordifolia_ HBK); Leguminosae: _Rhynchosia longeracemosa_ Mart. & Gal.; and even one of the Solanaceae, _Datura meteloides_ DC. All the above are non-cacti, but many Cactaceae have also been called “peyote.” These include: _Anhalonium Englemannii_ Lem., _A. prismaticum_ Lem., _A. furfuraceum_ Wats., _A. pulvilligerum_ Lem., _A. areolosum_ Lem., _Lophophora williamsii_ Lem., _Ariocarpus fissuratus_ (Englm.) K. Schum., _Astrophytum myriostigma_ Lem., _A. asterias_ (Zucc.) Lem., _Pelecyphora aselliformis_ Ehrenb., and _Strombocactus disciformis_ DC. The diminutive “peyotillo” has been applied to _Dolichothele longimamma_ Britton and Rose, and _Solisia pectinata_ Britton and Rose.[7] FOOTNOTES: [1] Hernandez, in Safford, _Aztec Narcotic_, 295; _Peyotes, Datos para Estudia_, 204. [2] In simpler Mexican cultures, peyote was in the hands of shamans; this other peyote appears to derive its name from the priests of a certain class in the higher Aztec culture: “According to some authorities, the highest grade of these native hierophants bore among the Nahuas the symbolic name of ‘flower weavers,’ Xochimilca, probably from the skill they had to deceive the senses by strange and pleasant visions (Xochimilca, que asi llamavan á los mui sabios encantadores)” (Torquemada, in Brinton, _Nagualism_, 298). [3] A specimen in Mooney, Peyote Notebook, 56, was so identified. Schultes viewed this and identified it as _C. cordifolia_ which in addition has cocoon-shaped pods. Cf. the use of _Lophophora_ as an aphrodisiac. [4] Alfonso, in Rouhier, _Monographie_, 3; Santoscoy, _Nayarit_, 32. Schultes (_Peyote and Plants Used_, 135) lists _Cotyledon caespitosa_ Haw. as a Crassulaceous “peyote.” [5] _Peyotes, Datos para Estudia_, 111, 206, 208. This non-cactus “peyote” of Tepic may have been the false clue leading Rouhier to believe an earlier range of peyote into Tepic.
