Lophophora diffusa var. koehresii

Lophophora koehresii is a cactus species of the genus Lophophora found in San Luis Potosí, Mexico.[1][2] It is thought to be closely related to Lophophora diffusa.[1] Preliminary observations suggest that unlike Lophophora williamsii (peyote), Lophophora koehresii may not contain considerable amounts of mescaline or produce hallucinogenic effects.[2] The species was first named and described as Lophophora diffusa var. koehresii in 1996 and was renamed to Lophophora koehresii in 2005.[3][4]
