<div>The genus Thevetia is composed of nine species,</div>
<div>known as rattle trees or tropical oleander (Anzeneder et al. 1993,61*). The peels of the fruits</div>
<div>are hard and are used to make rattles and clappers</div>
<div>for Indian dances.</div>
<div>One species whose identity has not been clarified</div>
<div>is known in Colombia and the surrounding</div>
<div>regions as cabalonga blanca. It is considered a</div>
<div>weaker relative of the true cabalonga. Cabalonga</div>
<div>blanca is said to have magical powers and psychoactive</div>
<div>effects and is used as an ayahuasca additive.</div>
<div>In Mexico, Thevetia thevetioides (H.B.K.) K.</div>
<div>Schum. is known as yoyotl and is used in folk</div>
<div>medicine as a cardiac stimulant and analgesic (Jiu</div>
<div>1966, 252*). Thevetia peruviana (Pers.) Schum.</div>
<div>[syn. T. neriifolia Juss.], known as yellow oleander,</div>
<div>is originally from Peru but is now cultivated as an</div>
<div>ornamental in all tropical zones of the world, and</div>
<div>it is the species whose chemical makeup is best</div>
<div>known. The seeds are rich in cardiac glycosides,</div>
<div>e.g., peruvoside (Steinegger and Hansel 1972,</div>
<div>193*). Eight to ten seeds is reportedly the lethal</div>
<div>dose for an adult (Roth et al. 1994, 699*). In the</div>
<div>Mexican state of San Luis Potosi, Thevetia peruviana</div>
<div>is known as palo de San Antonio, "tree of St.</div>
<div>Anthony" (Aguilar Contreras and Zolla 1982,</div>
<div>196*). The name may very well be derived from a</div>
<div>psychoactive effect (see Claviceps purpurea). On</div>
<div>the Gulf Coast of Mexico, in the territory of the</div>
<div>Huastec, the plant is known as cabalonga de la</div>
<div>huasteca (Aguilar Contreras and Zolla 1982, 196*).</div>
