  abstract = {{T}his paper is the first thorough analysis of takini, a hallucinogen used by the shamans of several peoples in {S}uriname, {F}rench {G}uiana, and the region east of the {P}ara in {B}razil. {T}he drug is contained in the latex of the {B}rosimum acutifolium tree, and until now, its psychotropic properties appeared inconsistent with the more general medicinal uses of the tree in the surrounding region. {O}ur chemical and botanical studies reveal that the active ingredient of takini is bufotenine; and that this compound is only contained in the subspecies {B}rosimum acutifolium {H}uber subsp. acutifolium {C}.{C}. {B}erg that is found in the same area of the eastern {G}uianas.
