| intro = ''Mimosa hostilis'' (now ''M. tenuiflora'') is a thorny Fabaceae tree of the dry ''caatinga'' of northeastern Brazil and southern Mexico. The root bark is among the richest plant sources of DMT, with traditional use in indigenous ''jurema'' rituals (now "resurrected" by Brazilian groups after centuries of colonial suppression). The leaves are sold in Mexico as ''tepescohuite'' for burn and wound treatment.
