tensegger xusheng Posted February 3, 2005 The name sounds similar to the Ausralian cocaine tree that me and a friend went looking for once up north. Yes it has been documented growing in a certain national park. Unfortunately we didnt find it but its supposed to be chewed with lime to release the alkaloids i think. The species name does sound like it and its quite rare i think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
teonanacatl Posted February 3, 2005 tensegger xusheng although in the same species as cocaine containing plants the ones up here dont contain cocaine and i beileve someone here did a bio essay on some and found it quite a bad expereince. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

teonanacatl Posted February 3, 2005 yeah ive been told that coca was grown up here in the far north, though last time i said this i offended someone by saying this, so i wont go into it again. very possible there is wild ones growing now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Torsten Posted February 4, 2005 Not funny darcy. I almost deleted you!!! Lucky I spotted the registration date before I hit the button. Actually, I thought that name was 'reserved' by the software?!? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tensegger xusheng Posted February 7, 2005 Darcy, Erythoxylum is definately the one i was thinking of. Ive always wondered about it since we went looking for it but never really had any information about it. Do you know of any good web sites i can reference it? Btw youve helped me clarify an old mystery since we never actually found it and ive never talked to anyone who knew anything about it except for my freind who took me on the wild goose chase to begin with. I guess a university resource of some sort might be the place to find info about it? Thanks [ 07.
