R. Gordon Wasson collects samples of S. divinorum, but they are inadequate for botanical identification.   

He observes that the plant is cultivated throughout Mazateca, where it is called "hojas de la Pastora”, or “hojas de María Pastora” (leaves of the Shepherdess or leaves of Mary the Shepherdess).
