Heimia spp.



The Heimia (Sinicuichi) genus contains three species known as sun opener or shrubby yellowcrest. They are native to the Americas, from northern Argentina north to the southernmost United States (southern Texas). The alkaloid contents of specimens of all three species have been studied, and although similar, they have been found to be chemically distinct. H. salicifolia is reputed to be psychoactive and produce auditory and visual hallucinations. The term 'sun opener' refers to the effects of the plant relating to vision. A brightening or 'opening' of the sun occurs when this plant is consumed. Botanists are uncertain as to whether or not the plant is the one indigenous peoples of South America used medicinally. There is now speculation that the original 'sun opener' was actually cannabis.
