shonman Posted October 14, 2017 Are you saying this particular plant (from T Mckennas collection supposedly ) is not cabrerana ? if so are you sure ? How can we ID it for sure? from what I can tell ... leaves look like cabrerana vine looks like cabrerana ? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shonman Posted October 14, 2017 Can anyone post a picture of a plant that is FOR SURE cabrerana ? this one "walks like a cabrerana quacks like a cabrerana ..." so....is it ? it and the leaves look like pictures that are supposedly cabrerana ... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shonman Posted October 14, 2017 (edited) Also, if a leaf is removed or broken there is a subtle smell . it does not seem to like being overwatered . since I had some problems with plants sealed in an aquarium , I took the plex cover off. then moved all but three of the plants to be with their friend, B Caapi which I have growing on a section of cattle panel indoors . i wind the caapi around the fence as it grows...creating a 'caapistry '!

shonman Posted October 14, 2017 (edited) Ok! in the interest of science, and trying to positively identify this plant.... ( Which the Faithful Believe is the Divine Cabrerana...) i present theWords of Te Estimated Prophet, regarding the Divine Origin, of the Virgin Birth of Diplopterys God of the Seers. of course, we are mere collectors of the sacred knowledge never committing any Sin.

"The D. cab.showed up growing at the base of a Rollinia tree one day after a guy I used to hire for labor placed it there without asking me. When I asked what the hell it was he gave me a story that it was a vine type of Chacruna that was 10 tens stronger than Psychotria and had come from Terrance McKenna's place. After some research I figured out what it was scientifically and started to propagate some. A few people here seemed to know what it was and purchased a few plants. Otherwise it drew little interest until....(Shonman arrived) Because of the path the plant took here I assume it is what it is supposed to be but I have spoken to no one who has used it and I do not do Ayahuasca myself. If I need to speak with multidimensional space aliens I can figure out how to do that without vomiting or crapping in my shorts. As far as how cuttings are done: I cut 4" to 6" pieces of vine, insert them upright in mass into one gallon nursery containers filled with Pro-Mix HP. The containers are then placed on a nursery table under the edge of a large lime tree until the root out. At that point I transfer them to indivual 3.5" pots using the same medium but adding some osmocote so they have..." ....end of transmission....

MeanGreen Posted October 14, 2017 (edited) The weird thing to me is that there seems to be a steady supply of dried leaf to many smartshops of supposed D. cab which does seem to contain DMT in good amounts judging from the reports of bioassays and extractions on some forums. Anyone knows if the foliage that is sold as chaliponga is actual D. cab, and/or who supplies those shops? If it's not diplopterys then what is it? From what I've read it does look different from chacruna and seems more potent. Surely if the supplier is harvesting kilos they might be able to provide cuttings.

☽Ţ ҉ĥϋηϠ₡яღ☯ॐ€ðяئॐ♡Pϟiℓℴϟℴ Posted October 14, 2017 Try to get photos of flowering and seed if you can .. from motherplants if poss.. see if tests on the material you have are runnable .. maybe diplop has different forms - and maybe some equally sexy sisters .. try to see if folk you can ask know anything about tetrapterys methistica if poss? MG I contacted a supplier of the leaf in Canada about that a few years ago, wondering just the same, and they said they didn't know and weren't able to get live plants or cuttings or seeds or info .. damn it took nrly 4 hours to get this to allow me to reply.. anyhoo :3 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shonman Posted October 15, 2017 The Most High source of the Sacred Cabrerana.....Sayeth : "So far in this climate the plant does not flower or seed. It around 6 to 7 years old, perhaps not old enough. The Yage vine flowers here but refuses to set seed in this environment. San Pedro is like that in CA, flowers every year but never sets a seed. Quite a few S. American plants act this way when moved north." 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shonman Posted October 20, 2017 Well, someone said that anonymous botanists, claim my plant is a diplopterys, but not specifically Cabrerana... yet they also claim that is has the same activity, so might as well be Cabrerana .. maybe I will just call it 'chaliponga ' instead... i would very much like to know exactly what characteristics of my actual plant are said to have determined that it might not be Cabrerana... It looks exactly like all the pix I have seen of Cabrerana.... they said 'T Mckennas plant is not Cabrerana " what specifically about my plant did they determine that by? was it simply that they saw some other McKenna plant, and assumed it was the same? it looks exactly like Cabrerana ....as far as I can tell from pictures. can these botanists, step forward and say exactly what they determined that the plant is not Cabrerana by? i would very much like to know what identifying characteristics they determined this by.... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
☽Ţ ҉ĥϋηϠ₡яღ☯ॐ€ðяئॐ♡Pϟiℓℴϟℴ Posted October 20, 2017 if not cabbie then I wonder which? This isn't a genus I can find much info on let alone any pics .. The more ya learn the less ya know .. And this thread you made has been gold dust mate. Thank you very much indeed. wiki says: - Diplopterys is a genus of plants in the Malpighiaceae family. There are approximately 45 species within the genus: Diplopterys amplectens (B.Gates) W.R.Anderson & C.Davis Diplopterys araujei (Schwacke ex Nied.) Nied.[2] Diplopterys bahiana Diplopterys bracteosa Diplopterys cabrerana (Cuatrec.) B.Gates Diplopterys cachimbensis Diplopterys caduciflora Diplopterys carvalhoi Diplopterys cristata Diplopterys cururensis Diplopterys cururuensis Diplopterys erianthera Diplopterys heterostyla Diplopterys hypericifolia Diplopterys includens Diplopterys involuta Diplopterys involuta var. ovata Diplopterys krukoffii Diplopterys leiocarpa Diplopterys longialata (Nied.) W. R. Anderson & C. Davis[3] Diplopterys lucida Diplopterys lutea Diplopterys marsballiana Diplopterys marshalliana Diplopterys mexicana Diplopterys microcarpa Diplopterys nigrescens Diplopterys nutans Diplopterys paralias Diplopterys paralias var. latifolia Diplopterys patula Diplopterys pauciflora Diplopterys pauciflora var. latifolia Diplopterys peruviana Diplopterys platyptera Diplopterys populifolia Diplopterys pubipetala Diplopterys riparia Diplopterys rondoniensis Diplopterys rosea Diplopterys schunkei Diplopterys sepium Diplopterys spruceana Diplopterys uleana Diplopterys valvata Diplopterys virgultosa Diplopterys woytkowskii at least that's fewer than Virola I recall Plant Hunter (one of me fave old SABbers) once said that diplop has a round seed ..

shonman Posted October 21, 2017 (edited) Thanks all! i will see what I can figure out from this info, much appreciated! after some research, I found an interview, deacribing the exacting technique by which the natives of the Amazonthemselves, determine exact taxonomic identities of sacred plants.... "Davis: We call it "trial and error," which is a meaningless euphemism. The Indians say that the plants told them what to do.In the 'forties, Schultes reported that there were societies in the northwest Amazon where there were as many as seventeen different varieties of ayahuasca — all of which were referable to one main species. He asked how they were distinguished. The answer? You take the plants on the night of a full moon, when each species sings to you in a different key.It's an amazing system of taxonomy.Adams: That's stunning. Do you believe that?Davis: I absolutely believe that. Edited October 21, 2017 by shonman 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shonman Posted October 21, 2017 Dude I got it from insists it never flowers here. however, one could perhaps duplicate the light/ time of subsequent seasons from its home environment and induce flowering that way. this thing takes forever to root it seems and does not exactly grow fast here in captivity.... maybe it needs higher temps 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
