| Shrub or small tree, 1-2(-5)m high, native to the rainforests of western and central Africa; bark smooth, brown; leaves entire, elliptic, 7-13cm long and 2-5cm wide; flowers tiny, pale yellow to pale pink or white with pink dots, 5-12 together; fruit a long petioled berry, orange-yellow, ovoid, 2-4cm long, occuring as pending pairs. | Shrub or small tree, 1-2(-5)m high, native to the rainforests of western and central Africa; bark smooth, brown; leaves entire, elliptic, 7-13cm long and 2-5cm wide; flowers tiny, pale yellow to pale pink or white with pink dots, 5-12 together; fruit a long petioled berry, orange-yellow, ovoid, 2-4cm long, occuring as pending pairs. |

| | "The Iboga tree is the central pillar of the Bwiti spiritual practice in West-Central Africa, mainly Gabon, Cameroon and the Republic of the Congo, which uses the alkaloid-containing roots of the plant in a number of ceremonies. Iboga is taken in massive doses by initiates of this spiritual practice, and on a more regular basis is eaten in smaller doses in connection with rituals and tribal dances, which is usually performed at night time."

| "Tabernanthe iboga is an apocynaceous shrub native to the forests of Gabon and the northern Congo. First described in the late 1800’s, it has been reasonably well studied by botanists. The roots of T. iboga contain several indole alkaloids, of which the most important, [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ibogaine|ibogaine]], is a central stimulant and in large doses an hallucinogen. In Gabon, the roots are used in the initiation rites to a number of secret societies, of which the Bwiti is most famous. The plant remains to this day a central feature of local religion, and its spectacular effects have hampered native acceptance of Christianity in Gabon." \\ | "Tabernanthe iboga is an apocynaceous shrub native to the forests of Gabon and the northern Congo.

| "In the present paper, we report for the first time the tissue distribution of ibogaine and noribogaine, the main metabolite of ibogaine, in a 48-year-old Caucasian male, with a history of drug abuse, found dead at his home after a poisoning involving the ingestion of root bark from the shrub Tabernanthe iboga. Ibogaine and noribogaine were quantified in tissues and fluids using a fully validated liquid chromatography-electrospray mass spectrometry method. Apart from cardiac tissue, ibogaine and noribogaine were identified in all matrices investigated. The highest concentrations were found in spleen, liver, brain, and lung. The tissue/subclavian blood concentration ratios averaged 1.78, 3.75, 1.16, and 4.64 for ibogaine and 0.83, 2.43, 0.90, and 2.69 for noribogaine for spleen, liver, brain, and lung, respectively. Very low concentrations of the two drugs were found in the prostatic tissue. Both ibogaine and noribogaine are secreted in the bile and cross the blood-brain harrier. Four other compounds were detected in most of the studied matrices. One of them was identified as ibogamine." \\ | "In the present paper, we report for the first time the tissue distribution of ibogaine and noribogaine, the main metabolite of ibogaine, in a 48-year-old Caucasian male, with a history of drug abuse, found dead at his home after a poisoning involving the ingestion of root bark from the shrub Tabernanthe iboga.
