1 locoweed
( loco [lóko] [see above])Missouri: 1844. Any of several poisonous leguminous plants that cause a sort of distemper in cattle known as loco (disease). The DARE notes that the two most common plants of this name are the milk vetch (a plant of the genus Astragalus), and Oxytropis lambertii.Also called loco, loco grass, loco plant, loco vetch. Santamaría references loco as a plant commonly called acacia in Mexico. However, he notes that this plant belongs to the genus Robinia, while English sources indicate that most plants known as locoweed are of the genera Oxytropis and Astragalus. -
2 frijolillo
(Sp. model spelled same [frixolíjo] < frijol [see above] plus diminutive suffix - illo; 'little bean')1) Texas: 1886. According to the DARE, "an evergreen shrub or tree ( Sophora secundiflora)."Alternate forms: frigolito, frijolilla, frijolito, frijollito.Also called big-drunk bean, coral bean, mescal bean, mountain laurel, whiskey bean.2) DARE: 1947. A locoweed (including Oxytropis lambertii). See locoweed. Santamaría references many plants by this name, including various leguminous plants native to Mexico. One of these is the S. secundiflora, a northern variety of colorín known as the frijolito in Texas. The seeds of this plant contain a pungent, highly poisonous alkaloid that Indians ingest in small doses to induce intoxication, delirium, and finally, a deep sleep that lasts for several days. It is probably because of its narcotic properties that the plant is known in the Southwest as the whiskey bean or big-drunk bean. Cobos references frijolillo simply as another name for locoweed.
