In the course of his studies of narcotic plants in southern Mexico, Mr. R. Gordon Wasson became interested in a member of the Labiatae which is employed by the Mazatec Indians of Oaxaca as a psychotropic drug.
An examination of material from the Mazatec country indicates that the plant in question is an undescribed species of Salvia:
Salvia divinorum (Dusenostachys) Epling & Játiva sp. nov.
