Diplopterys cabrerana (syn. Banisteriopsis rusbyana) is a South American rainforest vine, commonly known as Chaliponga, Chagropanga and, in parts of Ecuador, Chacruna (a name most often referring to Psychotria viridis). It is found in the Amazonian lowlands of Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru.[1]
Chaliponga is a common admixture of the entheogenic tea Ayahuasca, and is rich in tryptamines such as DMT and 5-MeO-DMT. Chacruna (Psychotria viridis) is the other DMT-containing plant which can be used instead of Chaliponga in the brewing of a traditional Ayahuasca tea.
