Lophophora

a genus of globe-shaped cacti. There are three or four species distributed in the southern United States and in Mexico at elevations of 1,600-2,100 m above sea level. The best known is L. williamsii, called peyote or peyotl by the local population. Its stem and turnip-shaped root contain alkaloids (mescaline, lophophorine, peyotine) that cause colorful visual and auditory hallucinations. L. williamsii is an ancient holy plant of the American Indians.
