Past experience has shown that for a divinatory plant to enlist the attention of the outside world two steps are usually necessary. First, it should be correctly and securely identified. Second, its chemistry should be convincingly worked out. Richard Evans Schultes settled the identity of ololiuhqui in the definitive paper published in 1941. OH It is the seed of a species of Convolvulaccne Rivea corymbosa (L.) Hall. hi. 

The great botanist Richard Schultes and the biochemist Albert Hofmann (of LSD fame) celebrated the wide variety of organisms with these properties in a book called Plants of the Gods. When I first met Schultes, in summer of 1986 at the Rockefeller Study Center in Bellagio, Italy, he told me that although he had enjoyed the psychedelic effects of many plants, he had never recalled a single natural dream ...

The ethnobotanist Richard Evans Schultes sent samples of a cultivated Mexican morning glory to Hofmann in 1959, when it was still called Rivea corymbosa. He had seen it employed in divination by a Zapotec shaman in Oaxaca. Corymbosa is now considered one of five Turbina species—the only one appearing in the Americas. Though there are more than 500 species of Convolvulaceae widely scattered around the globe, they seem to have been used for their psychoactive properties only by tribes in the New World. 

In their four-volume The Cactaceae, written at the turn of the century, Britten and Rose describe 1,235 species of cacti the number of clearly identified species has since gone well beyond 3,000. Peyote is unusual among cacti, displaying spines only as a seedling. It has been found to produce more than sixty separate alkaloids and is thus, as Richard Evans Schultes described the plant, "a veritable chemical factory. In Peyote—The Divine Cactus, Edward... 

The Harvard recipient was the young ethnobotanist Richard Evans Schultes, who had been a medical student until he happened upon Heinrich Kliiver s first monography on "mescal visions. As Schultes later wrote to Kliiver, reading that essay altered his life s course. Schultes changed his doctoral thesis to peyote use on the Kiowa reservation in Oklahoma and thereby began on a lifelong interest in mind-changing plants of the New World.
