Mesquite is a common name for some plants in the genus Prosopis and Neltuma, both of which contain over 40 species of small leguminous trees. They are native to dry areas in the Americas . They have extremely long roots to seek water from very far under ground.
Neltuma juliflora (Spanish: bayahonda blanca, Cuji in Venezuela, Trupillo in Colombia, Aippia in the Wayuunaiki language and long-thorn kiawe [1] in Hawaii), formerly Prosopis juliflora, is a shrub or small tree in the family Fabaceae, a kind of mesquite. [2] It is native to Mexico, South America and the Caribbean.
Standing beneath the tree during rain can cause blistering of the skin from even a small drop of rain with the latex in it. Burning tree parts may cause blindness if the smoke reaches the eyes. The fruit can also be fatal if eaten. Many trees carry a warning sign, while others have been marked with a red "X" on the trunk to indicate danger.
Prosopis velutina, commonly known as velvet mesquite, is a small to medium-sized tree. It is a legume adapted to a dry, desert climate. Though considered to be a noxious weed in states outside its natural range, [ citation needed ] it plays a vital role in the ecology of the Sonoran Desert .
Neltuma glandulosa has rounded, big and floppy, drooping branches with feathery foliage and straight, paired thorns on twigs. This tree normally reaches 20–30 ft (6.1–9.1 m), but can grow as tall as 50 ft (15 m).
Prosopis pallida is a species of mesquite tree. It has the common names kiawe (/ k iː ˈ ɑː v eɪ /) [2] (in Hawaii), huarango (in its native South America) and American carob, as well as "bayahonda" (a generic term for Prosopis), "algarrobo pálido" (in some parts of Ecuador and Peru), and "algarrobo blanco" (usually used for Prosopis alba).
Eradicating Prosopis is difficult because the plant's bud regeneration zone can extend down to 6 in (150 mm) below ground level; [18] [19] the tree can regenerate from a piece of root left in the soil. [18] Some herbicides are not effective or only partially effective against mesquite. Spray techniques for removal, while effective against short ...
Published reports of DMT in the leaf [7] derive from a misreading of a paper that found no DMT in leaves of this species. [8] Besides this, there are independent claims of DMT in leaves and bark based on human bioassay, [2] and traces of 5-MeO-DMT, DMT and NMT were tentatively identified by TLC in twigs. [9]
