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.
