Bëcchëte aka Tabernaemontana undulata

[Pony On A Rainbow]

To my surprise I managed to germinate a bunch of T. Undulata seeds without any problems whatsoever. All i really needed was the patience for waiting on them to pop up.
I'm quite pleased because they look very healthy and they don't seem to be picky.

Few information are out there to how this plant is traditionally used. All i got was the Matis tribe using the plant as eyedrops.

Does anyone know something about this plant?

I looked on wiki and saw that it was not used for eye drops maybe, but i think it to help for hunting because it says When applied directly to the eye, Becchete has the effect of giving the environment greater texture and dimension, making it easier to spot animals during hunting. This seems really interesting, i couldn't imagine rubbing something on my eye, very sweet and crazy.

it also says The effects are reported to be long-term, lasting days or weeks, not just a few hours.

I Don't know exactly how i could guide you with this plant, id say wait and see if others respond in, if they have tried it or even played around with the plant.

I wish you luck and please be safe.

Stem seems to have 1.7% alkaloids, which are:

Coronaridine
voacangine
19-epi-heyneanine
quebrachidine
voaphylline

I dont think its been found with ibogaine as wikipedia seems to suggest. Now gotta find out about these aforementioned alkaloids, toxicity, effects etc.

I appreciate your kind words sir. I just figured, better put it out there for someone to see. Nobody gets hurt when we ask with an open heart right?

I'm amazed that you are able to understand chemistry in french. I couldn't even chemistry in english haha.
Thanks for summary!
