'''Tabernanthe iboga''', or simply '''iboga''', is a perennial rainforest shrub and [[psychedelic]] which is native to western Central Africa. In parts of Africa where the plant grows, the bark of the root is chewed for various pharmacological or ritualistic purposes. [[Ibogaine]], the [[Psychoactive substance|active]] alkaloid, is also used to treat substance abuse disorders and depression. A small amount of ibogaine, along with precursors of ibogaine, are found in Voacanga africana. | '''Tabernanthe iboga''', or simply '''iboga''', is a perennial rainforest shrub and [[psychedelic]] which is native to western Central Africa.
