'''''Banisteriopsis caapi''''', also known as '''ayahuasca''', '''caapi''' or '''yagé''', is a South American liana of the family Malpighiaceae. It is used to prepare [[ayahuasca]], a decoction with a long history of its [[entheogen]]ic use and its status as a "plant teacher" among the indigenous peoples of the Amazon rainforest.

The alkaloids of ''Banisteriopsis caapi'', the plant source of the Amazonian hallucinogen [[ayahuasca]], stimulate adult neurogenesis ''in vitro''.<ref>https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-017-05407-9</ref>

==Chemistry==

Banisteriopsis caapi (also known as ayahuasca, caapi or yajé) is a South American jungle vine of the family Malpighiaceae. It contains harmine, harmaline, and tetrahydroharmine in the following proportions:

*'''Harmine:''' 0.31-8.43%

*'''Harmaline:''' 0.03-0.83%

* '''Proanthocyanidins''' (less known MAOIs)

** '''(−)-epicatechin'''

** '''(−)-procyanidins'''

*'''Tetrahydroharmine:''' 0.05-2.94%
