Erythroxylum catuaba is a
vigorous-growing, small tree that produces yellow and orange flowers and small,
dark yellow, oval-shaped, inedible fruit. It grows in the northern part of
Brazil in Amazonas, Para, Pernambuco, Bahia, Maranhao, and Alagoas. This catuaba
tree belongs to the family Erythroxylaceae, whose principal genus,
Erythroxylum, contains several species that are sources of cocaine. Catuaba,
however, contains none of the active cocaine alkaloids. More information about Catuaba Extract
