Torsten Posted April 13, 2008 As mentioned in a previous thread, I have a FOAF in Brazil who has mature Diplopterys cabrerana plants. I had to ask for permission to post these pics. They are courtesy of Alceo Lucea . These plants have not produced seed, so don't ask me for any. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Teotzlcoatl Posted April 15, 2008 omg. SWEET! I would love to have on of those! Is it tree-like? I thought it was in the Malpighaceae family and it was vine-like? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Torsten Posted April 15, 2008 looks more like a viney shrub 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Auxin Posted April 15, 2008 Looks like a vine to me, in the flower pic note that it appears attached to a supporting structure. Pretty flowers I sure hope we get to see the seeds, the drawing of the distored samsara you posted before kept me from being ripped off on ebay: Thanks for that btw 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Torsten Posted April 16, 2008 I think the habit depends on the location. I have caapis that are vies, while others refuse to climb up the trees they are planted next to. I think if a caapi gets plenty of sun [ie no shade whatsoever] it has little interest in climbing. The same probably goes for Diplo, which is why you see both shrubby and viney plants. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

planthelper Posted April 16, 2008 now, that we know how a genuine diplo looks like, i can say that all the pic's i've seen gooing around at the nook years ago did not despict diplos but some form of viridis. i remeber all the comotion, wau, you americans are so lucky to have diplo plants, and people were offering there kidneys to obtain a cutting, sorry guys, it was not the real thing. and worse it will take forever to change those believes and even in years to come, people will trade those wrong plants for the real mc coy. if i'm correct than people think that diplo makes very good aya, but i have once spoken to a person who claimed to have had aya in south america (obviously only a very small dose) and it was prepared with diplo (don't know if it was soley diplo), and they named it perro (dog) aya, obviously because this plant was looked down upon to some regard. but it's very likely that those people refered to this aya in this sence, because the informant claimed that the main effect he experienced was inhanced sex drive. so who out there, had diplo, is it different to traditional aya, do those viagra like symptoms have there merits? aya, never made me horny, on the contrary, how could a person which is incabable of walking (whilst on aya), perform the sex act??

mutant Posted August 26, 2008 I think the habit depends on the location. I have caapis that are vies, while others refuse to climb up the trees they are planted next to. I think if a caapi gets plenty of sun [ie no shade whatsoever] it has little interest in climbing. The same probably goes for Diplo, which is why you see both shrubby and viney plants. very interesting thought, even if it's just an assumption, even better if it's true. I am really interested in climbers ... and planthelper got me into wondering if my seed grown P.viridis is really a diplo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alcluc Posted May 21, 2015 The same plant : .First, this "Chali" used to be a shrub... later it turned to a shrubby vine form. This is a very very entheogenic strain. This plant rarely produces seeds in the temperate or subtropical climate , but in the tropical zone and low altitudes it produces seeds from the fourth or fifth year. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ghosty Posted May 28, 2015 (edited) I am under the impression that this plant is NEVER used in any medicine's in South America (at least, in Peru) due to the fact that it's spirit is "very bizarre".. Edited May 28, 2015 by ghosty Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
