'''''Anadenanthera''''' is a genus of [[South America]]n trees in the [[Legume]] family, [[Fabaceae]]. The genus contains two species, ''[[Anadenanthera colubrina|A. colubrina]]'' and ''[[Anadenanthera peregrina|A. peregrina]]''. These trees are known to the western world primarily as sources of the [[hallucinogenic snuff]]s [[Anadenanthera colubrina|vilca]]/cebil and [[yopo]]/cohoba.

Both these species contain identical hallucinogenic compoundsDomnauer, Colin. “The Legume Pod Motif as a Symbolic Representation of the Shamanic Hallucinogen, Vilca (Anadenanthera Spp.), in Pre-Columbian Andean Cultures.” Ñawpa Pacha: Journal of Andean Archaeology 40, no. 2 (2020): 163–73. https://www.jstor.org/stable/48594697.


A 2024 molecular marker study of few hundred specimens sampled across Brazil and lowland Bolivia supports a four-species hypothesis (''A. colubrina'' (Vell.) Brenan, ''A. macrocarpa'' (Benth.) Brenan, ''A. peregrina'' (L.) Speg., and ''A. falcata'' (Benth.) Speg) for the ''Anadenanthera'' genus as opposed to a two-species, four-variety hypothesis.{{cite journal |last1=Mangaravite |first1=Érika |last2=da Silveira |first2=Thamyres Cardoso |last3=Vinson |first3=Christina Cleo |last4=Bueno |first4=Marcelo Leandro |last5=Silva |first5=Roberta dos Santos |last6=Carniello |first6=Maria Antonia |last7=Veldman |first7=Joseph W. |last8=Garcia |first8=Magali Gonçalves |last9=de Oliveira |first9=Luiz Orlando |title=Unlocking the secret diversity of Anadenanthera: insights from molecular genetics of four evolving species |journal=Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society |date=2024 |volume=204 |issue=1 |pages=47–62 |doi=10.1093/botlinnean/boad037 |url=https://doi.org/10.1093/botlinnean/boad037 |access-date=24 August 2025|url-access=subscription }}
