"The context of presentation, information on the water lily in Maya antiquity, and recent information on the chemistry of this white water lily suggest that we must reassess the role of Nymphaea amplu. In a reevaluation of these ancient literary and iconographic sources, it would seem that both mushrooms and water lilies emerge as important ritual psychotogens. While the contextual use of mushrooms is well known, the water lily has been largely ignored. This presentation provides some perspective on both of these important New World narcotics."
William A. Emboden, "The mushroom and the water lily: Literary and pictorial evidence for Nymphaea as a ritual psychotogen in mesoamerica", Journal of Ethnopharmacology, Volume 5, Issue 2, March 1982, Pages 139-148
