Note 12 — BOTANICAL AND PHYSIOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF PEYOTE
Reading edition
Hernandez, De Historia Plantarum, 204, “Se dice que hay macho y hembra.” Inaccurately translated by Safford, Aztec Narcotic, 295, and Rouhier, Monographie, 43. The simplest and most obvious translation is the most satisfactory. According to the Lipan (Opler, Use of Peyote, 279) male peyotes bloom red, female peyotes white.
