Desfontainia spinosa - Taique
    #5371665 - 03/06/06 05:10 PM (17 years, 10 months ago)

Does anyone have experience growing this plant? There doesn't seem to be much info on it. Only that Schultes reports that the leaves are used as an hallucinogenic tea.(From Plants of the Gods).

From entheology.org "Desfontainia spinosa, a beautiful shrub 1-6 feet in height, has glossy dark green leaves, resembling those of Christmas holly, and tubular red flowers with a yellow tip. The berry is white or greenish yellow, globose, with many lustrous seeds. It has been reported as a hallucinogen from Chile and southern Colombia. In Chile, it is known as Taique, in Colombia as borrachero ("intoxicator"). Colombian shamans of the Kamsa' tribe take a tea of the leaves to diagnose disease or "to dream". Some medicine men (Curanderos) assert that they "go crazy" under its influence. Nothing is as yet known of the chemical constituents of Desfontainia."

i have grown this plant unfortunally its dead years ago but its not an difficult plant to grow, i know b&t sells seeds to it.

I know there has been some phytochemical analyzes of this plant but i couldnt find it when i searched for it., i know that there has been found several cucurbitane glycosides in this specie but the plants psycoactive effects is not known like you say. This plant may have some important medicianl usages like anti-inflammatory effects.
