Non-linked entries below are from ongoing work during late March and April 2016.
In the Chihuahuan Desert, Lophophora williamsii occurs in the subdivision classified by desert scrub such as Larrea tridentata, Prosopis spp. and Flourensia cernua, and also in the subdivision where the desert scrub incorporates many plants such as Agave lechuguilla and Yucca spp.
Many plants have been observed to be
growing with or near Lophophora williamsii var. echinata
(although a rock did appear to be the single most commonly chosen companion of seedlings.)
