An perennial vine that sprouts trumpet shaped flowers (in white, red, blue, purple). It also bears a small fruit whose seeds contain five alkaloids that are closely related to LSD*.
It grows primarily in central and South America, and was used by the natives for divination and religious ceremonies. The sap is also used to coagulate rubber.
