+'''''Calia secundiflora''''' is a species of [[Flowering plant|flowering]] [[shrub]] or small tree in the [[pea]] family, 	[[Fabaceae]],<ref name="USFS">[http://www.fs.fed.us/database/feis/plants/tree/sopsec/all.html Sophora secundiflora]</ref> that is native to the [[southwestern United States]] ([[Texas]], [[New Mexico]]) and Mexico ([[Chihuahua (state)|Chihuahua]] and [[Coahuila]] south to [[Hidalgo (Mexico)|Hidalgo]], [[Puebla]] and [[Querétaro]]).<ref name="GRIN"/> Common names include '''Texas Mountain Laurel''', '''Texas Mescalbean''', '''Frijolito''', and '''Frijolillo'''.<ref name="USFS"/> It is an often-misunderstood plant, frequently confused with the ''[[Agave]]'' species used to make [[mezcal]], as well as with [[Peyote]] (''Lophophora williamsii''), which contains [[mescaline]].<ref>[http://waynesword.palomar.edu/peyote.htm Mescal Bean & The Unrelated Peyote Cactus]</ref>
-| name = ''LATINNAME''   <!--- replace LATINNAME with the actual latin name -->
-| common_names =     <!--- if multiple, list all, if none, leave blank -->
+It is well-adapted to [[arid]] and [[Semi-arid climate|semi-arid]] habitats but is most common in [[riparian zone]]s.<ref name="USFS"/>
-| growth_habit = ?   <!--- tree, shrub, herbaceous, vine, etc -->
-| high = ?   <!--- 1m (3 ft) -->
+An [[evergreen]], its [[Leaf|leaves]] are [[pinnate]]ly-compound, with small, roughly spatulate [[leaflet]]s; the leaflets are rather thick, and waxy to the touch  Never tall, and rarely having a straight trunk, its [[bark]] is smooth in all but the oldest specimens.<ref>[http://ag.arizona.edu/pima/gardening/aridplants/Sophora_secundiflora.html Sophora secundiflora Texas mountain laurel]</ref> It grows slowly to a height of {{convert|15|ft|m|abbr=on}} and a crown diameter of {{convert|10|ft|m|abbr=on}}.<ref name="Mielke">[http://books.google.com/books?id=7KFT2hGIFPMC&dq Native Plants for Southwestern Landscapes]</ref>
-| wide =     <!--- 65cm (25 inches) -->
-| origin = ?   <!--- Mexico, S America, S Europe, garden, etc -->
+Extremely fragrant purple [[flower]]s, resembling the smell of grape soda, are produced in large clusters in March and April. They are followed by {{convert|4|in|cm|abbr=on}} [[Legume|pods]] containing deep orange [[seed]]s.<ref name="Mielke"/>
-| poisonous =     <!--- indicate parts of plants which are known/thought to be poisonous -->
-| lifespan =     <!--- perennial, annual, etc -->
+''C. secundiflora'' is a popular [[ornamental plant]] due to its showy [[flower]]s and orange [[seed]]s. The reddish [[wood]] it produces is potentially useful, but as yet has little commercial value.
-| exposure = ?   <!--- full sun, part-sun, semi-shade, shade, indoors, bright filtered (you may list more than 1) -->
-| water = ?   <!--- frequent, regular, moderate, drought tolerant, let dry then soak -->
+Further adding to this is the fact that the beans were in fact once used by some [[Indigenous peoples of the Americas|native American]] tribes as a [[hallucinogen]], before being supplanted by [[peyote]]. This plant does not contain any mescaline, however; all parts of it are highly poisonous, due to the principle [[alkaloid]] [[cytisine]], which is chemically related to [[nicotine]].
