Psychotria viridis Chacruna
Whole leaves

The main ingredients traditionally used in Ayahuasca were Psychotria viridis, Banisteriopsis Caapi (of the yellow variety) and Mimosa hostilis.
The ayahuasca vine or Banisteriopsis caapi, was traditionally the most important and widely used plant entheogen in Amazonia, yet it was rarely used by itself.
The main purpose of the plant in the Ayahuasca brew is the quality it possesses as a MAO inhibitor. Without the Caapi in the brew any Mimosa or Psychotria that was added by the indians would have been useless. Although the harmala and harmine that the caapi provided were necessary ingredients to the ayahuasca brew, the absolute ingredient of the Psychotria viridis leaves were the foundation.
These two materials are traditionally the Ayahuasca brew.
Combining the two ingreadients today is dangerous and not advised!
