Calia secundiflora is a species of flowering shrub or small tree in the pea family, Fabaceae, that is native to the southwestern United States (Texas, New Mexico) and Mexico (Chihuahua and Coahuila south to Hidalgo, Puebla and Queretaro). Common names include Texas Mountain Laurel, Texas Mescalbean, Frijolito, and Frijolillo. It is an often-misunderstood plant, frequently confused with the Agave species used to make mezcal, as well as with Peyote (Lophophora williamsii), which contains mescaline. It is well-adapted to arid and semi-arid habitats but is most common in riparian zones.

Common names include Texas Mountain Laurel, Texas Mescalbean, Frijolito, and Frijolillo. It is an often-misunderstood plant, frequently confused with the Agave species used to make mezcal, as well as with Peyote (Lophophora williamsii), which contains mescaline. It is well-adapted to arid and semi-arid habitats but is most common in riparian zones. An evergreen, its leaves are pinnately-compound, with small, roughly spatulate leaflets; the leaflets are rather thick, and waxy to the touch Never tall, and rarely having a straight trunk, its bark is smooth in all but the oldest specimens. It grows slowly to a height of ft ( m) and a crown diameter of ft ( m). Extremely fragrant purple flowers, resembling the smell of grape soda, are produced in large clusters in March and April. They are followed by in ( cm) pods containing deep orange seeds.
