Collection: Legal Lophophora

Lophophora is a genus of slow-growing, spineless cacti native to regions of northern Mexico and the southwestern United States. The most well-known species in this genus is *Lophophora williamsii*, commonly known as peyote. The genus is characterized by its small, globe-shaped appearance, bluish-green to grayish-green color, and ribbed or tubercled surface. These cacti typically grow low to the ground, often resembling small, fleshy buttons.

Williamsii are not the only species that are beautiful. There are many types of Lophophora that are not restricted.

The flowers of Lophophora are small, white to pinkish, and grow from the center of the plant. *Lophophora* species thrive in arid desert conditions, and their growth is quite slow, making them highly adapted to their harsh environments. The genus is of great cultural and historical significance, especially in connection with the Native American Church and traditional ceremonies by religious exempt churches and religious organizations.

Lophophora Fricii, Lophophora Diffusa, Lophophora Koehreshii are in the family of the same genus and not regulated.
