Wright's Horn Clover

The Navajo Indians regard this plant as a "life

medicine" and use it ritually in hunting (Vestal

1958, 32*). The Apache used the roots as an

inebriating additive for their homemade beer (see

beer). It is possible that the root cortex contains

alkaloids, e.g., tryptamines, which are also found

in many other plants of the same family.
