Dermatophyllum secundiflorum Dermatophyllum secundiflorum Dermatophyllum secundiflorum is a species of flowering shrub or small tree in the pea family, Fabaceae, that is native to the southwestern United States (Texas, New Mexico) and Mexico (Chihuahua and Coahuila south to Hidalgo, Puebla and Querétaro). Common names include Texas mountain laurel, Texas mescalbean, frijolito, and frijolillo. Although "mescalbean" is among the plant's common appellations, it bears no relation to the "Agave" species used to make the spirit mezcal, nor to the peyote cactus ("Lophophora williamsii"), which contains the hallucinogenic alkaloid mescaline. It is well-adapted to arid and semi-arid habitats but is most common in riparian
1,4-Dimethoxybenzene 1,4-Dimethoxybenzene 1,4-Dimethoxybenzene is an organic compound with the formula CH(OCH). It is one of three isomers of dimethoxybenzene. It is a white solid with an intensely sweet floral odor. It is produced by several plant species. It occurs naturally in willow ("Salix"), tea, hyacinth, zucchini ("Cucurbita pepo"). It appears to attract bees as it has a powerful response in their antenna. In a study in mice, Iranian scientists identified 1,4-dimethoxybenzene as the major psychoactive chemical in musk willow ("Salix aegyptiaca") by its ability to cause somnolescence and depressed activity. It is produced by the methylation of hydroquinone using dimethylsulfate and
