Pelecyphora Aselliformis Buy

Hordenine, anhalidine, pellotine, 3-demethyltrichocereine, mescaline, dimethoxy-beta-phenethylamine, and the N-monomethyl derivatives of mescaline d 3,4-dimethoxy-beta-phenethylamine have been isolated or identified, or both, in caloid extracts of a Mexican "peyote" cactus, Pelecyphora aselliformis tenberg. This is the first report of the occurrence of some of these alkaloids, including mescaline, in a North American cactus other than Lophophora.

Pelecyphora aselliformis is a small, very slow-growing cactus that forms a clump of unique spherical to short cylindrical stems with elongated, laterally flattened tubercles with 40 to 60 pectinate spines. The stems grow up to 4 inches (10 cm) tall and 2 inches (5 cm) in diameter. They are usually club-shaped in young specimens. Flowers are pink to violet with lighter outside petals and up to 1.4 inches (3.5 cm) in diameter and appear in spring.

Back Wide-band tracheids in cross-section view, Pelecyphora aselliformis. The cells with thin red walls near the top of the micrograph are vessels, those with green walls are parenchyma cells. Note that vessels and parenchyma are present mostly in a band near the top of the micrograph (with a few WBTS mixed in on the right) -- this may be earlywood. The large mass of WBTS making up the bulk of the photo may be latewood of the previous year. 041b061a72
