'''''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 [[blossom]]s that are spherical and white, occurring from February through April.<ref name "npin">[http://wildflower.utexas.edu/plants/result.php?id_plant=ACBE University of Texas Native Plant Information Network]</ref>  The ''berlandieri'' epithet comes from the name of [[Jean-Louis Berlandier]]<ref>

''A. berlandieri'' is toxic to [[livestock]] and thus should not be used as [[forage]] or [[fodder]].<ref>[http://texnat.tamu.edu/cmplants/toxic/plants/guajillo.html Texas Toxic Plants]</ref>

===Pests and diseases===

''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.
