The older name is still widely know due to its presence in the literature and as distributers of botanical products still use the older term. ''M. tenuiflora'' is an entheogen known as ''Jurema'', ''Jurema Preta'', ''Black Jurema'', and ''Vinho de Jurema''. Dried Mexican ''Mimosa Hostilis'' root bark has been recently shown to have a DMT content of about 1%. The stem bark has about 0.03% DMT.

This may explain the reported oral activity of DMT in Jurema without the addition of an MAOI. Imported MHRB typically requires the addition of an MAOI in the preparation of ayahuasca.
