Species: Mimosa hostilis
Plant Material: 'Inner Rootbark'
150g Rootbark
75g NaOH
1L Distilled Water
200mL Naptha
Constituents Isolated:
(NN-DMT) N,N-Dimethltryptamine
(2-Me-THbetaC) 2-Methyltetrahydro-.beta-carboline
(Naptha) 2-Acetyle-6-methoxynapthalene
The mass spec shows a few guesses for the secondary compound, and upon basic research the .beta-carboline was chosen instead of the .gamma-carboline.
Mass spec occured within 1 week of extraction, evaporated under room temperature airflow, samples were refrigerated during storage.

Some other things to consider:
The information presented above is based entirely on empirical, scientific observations.
Another possibility is that the beta-carboline is a degradation product of a higher mass alkaloid such as Yuremamine.

It should be noted that this is currently considered a 'novel' compound and in three years has yet to be reproduced.
