Mescaline Mescaline Mescaline (3,4,5-trimethoxyphenethylamine) is a naturally occurring psychedelic alkaloid of the phenethylamine class, known for its hallucinogenic effects comparable to those of LSD and psilocybin. It occurs naturally in the peyote cactus ("Lophophora williamsii"), the San Pedro cactus ("Echinopsis pachanoi"), the Peruvian torch ("Echinopsis peruviana"), and other members of the Cactaceae plant family.

Dianella (plant) Dianella (plant) Dianella is a monocot genus of flowering plants. They are commonly called flax lilies. In the APG II system of plant classification, "Dianella" was placed in the family Hemerocallidaceae. When that system was replaced by APG III in 2009, Hemerocallidaceae was combined with two other families, called Asphodelaceae in the APG IV system.

Several species are grown for their attractive foliage and shiny, blue to purple berries. Estimates of
