Having been in the nursery biz in Southern California for 20 some years, I
never saw peyote in the trade---and I looked!  I knew people that had them
in their private collections.  I always thought Matucana sp looked similar.

When I went to Amsterdam a few years ago, and was glad to see so many plant
venders selling them openly.  I wouldn't be surprised if there are more
Lophophora plants in The Netherlands than in the Southwest.

Cheers,
Erick
