''A. berlandieri'' contains a number of diverse [[alkaloids]], the most plentiful of which are [[N-Methylphenethylamine|N-methylphenethylamine]], [[tyramine]], and [[phenethylamine]]. In a recent study, researchers identified thirty-one alkaloids in samples of plant foliage, including trace amounts of five [[amphetamine]]s previously believed to be human inventions:<ref>[http://www.cognitiveliberty.org/shulgin/adsarchive/acacia.htm Ask Dr. Shulgin Online: Acacias and Natural Amphetamine]</ref> amphetamine, [[methamphetamine]], [[N,N-Dimethylamphetamine|N,N-dimethylamphetamine]], [[p-Hydroxyamphetamine|p-hydroxyamphetamine]] and [[PMA|p-methoxyamphetamine]]. Other trace alkaloids include [[dimethyltryptamine|DMT]] (found in many related species), [[nicotine]], and [[mescaline]] (found in many [[cacti]] but infrequently in other plants). The same group of researchers later reported finding most of the same alkaloids in ''[[Acacia rigidula|A. rigidula]]'', a related species also native to the Southwestern U.S. The findings, however, have never been confirmed or repeated, leading some researchers to believe the results were the result of cross-contamination.

Acacia berlandieri (Berlandier Acacia, Guajillo Acacia, guajillo, huajillo) is a shrub native to the Southwestern United States that belongs to the Mimosaceae (wattle family). It grows 1m to 5m tall, with blossoms that are spherical and white, occurring from February through April.[1] The berlandieri epithet comes from the name of Jean-Louis Berlandier[2], a French naturalist who studied wildlife native to Texas and Mexico. A. berlandieri contains a wide variety of alkaloids and has been known to cause toxic reactions in domestic animals such as goats.[3]
