Re: Cool Plants and Trees

"Is that the one that's used as a drug? =.="

yes it is one of the ones. along with others. teh difference with peyote is it has other alkaloids in it as well as mescaline making it a little different than other cacti. its interesting to note that apparently indians from as far as canada journeyed to souther US to collect this cacti (perhaps others). Other tribes ( i forge the names...) were known to run for days staright with the use of this plant. it definatly has soem history. from a botany point of veiw and an exploration point of veiw the book "One River" is a pretty fun read about teh more narcotic ethnogens and the work of Shultz.

i am suprised that bamboo has not been mentioned. if i were to guess, i would say it has to be among the top 10 ethnogens in human civilization.

The White Mulberry tree, the fastest 'moving' plant. The flowers are able to shot pollen out at more than the speed of sound!

Re: Cool Plants and Trees

Re: Cool Plants and Trees

Here's another plant that I love:
It's called "clitoria macrophylla".
I like it because of it's name, and its "appropriate" shape.
Also, it's roots produce the drug clitoriacetal.
