Brugmansia
Brugmansia spp. — Angel's trumpet, borrachero, toé
Brugmansia is the tree-form Solanaceae cousin of Datura — large pendulous trumpet-shaped flowers, native to the Andes from Colombia to northern Argentina. Used by Amazonian and Andean shamans as a darker, harder-to-control ally than Ayahuasca; sometimes mixed into ayahuasca by curanderos seeking visions of theft. Notorious in Colombia as burundanga (criminal scopolamine drugging).
