Ayahuasca (Ourinhos cultivar) (Banisteriopsis caapi) (Yage Vine)
Family: Malpighiaceae
A rare accession of the "Little Gold" cultivar, given this name because of the golden color of the brew that it produces. This is a powerful type used in the ceremonies of the Santo Daime, Uniao do vegetal, and Barquinha churches of Brazil. Through a forutunate set of circumstances, we obtained fresh seed of this cultivar, from a grower in the Brazilian rainforest. The pharmacological activity of the visionary brew known as ayahuasca is actually a synergistic interaction between the bark of the Banisteriopsis vine, which is a potent MAO inhibitor, and the companion plant Psychotria viridis, which contains the molecule known as dimethyltryptamine. There is no known genetic precourser to the Banisteriopsis vine--the plant is completely unique--as if it dropped from outer space. . .
Sow warm. Place seeds flat on sandy medium and cover with 1/4 inch of soil. Keep warm until germination. Protect from frost. In pots vines thrive in a shady greenhouse.
