Genista canariensis

Material Blossoms of any of several species including Canary Island broom (Genista canariensis), Scotch broom (Cytisus scoparius), and Spanish broom (Spartium junceum). 

Cytisus canariensis This Old Xbrld plant, introduced to Mexico, has been adopted as a shamanic drug by the Yaqui Indians (Di az, 1979 Fadiman 1965 Schultes Hofinann 1979). While the plant contains abundant cytisine, this alkaloid is not psychoptic. It is sometimes known in the literature as Genista canariensis. 

The seeds of Sophora secundiflora, the mescal bean or colorin, have long been considered hallucinogenic by Indians of Mexico and the southwestern United States (Schultes and Hofmann, 1973). The main alkaloid in these seeds is cytisine (27). Genista canariensis also has been considered to be mildly hallucinogenic (Kinghom and Balandrin, 1984).
