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.
