Mimosa hostilis
Mimosa tenuiflora. Jurema preta, tepescohuite
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.
