MARIPOSA FLOR:
Tumblr media
La Flor de la Mariposa (Heteropterys glabra o Heteropterys angustifolia) está, lamentablemente, muy poco difundida, salvo en algunas provincias del norte argentino, donde se la cultiva más por sus propiedades medicinales que por su delicada belleza...
Conocida también como Falso Tilo, Tilo del campo o Tilo paraguayo, la Flor de la Mariposa es un arbusto trepador, de hoja perenne, que pertenece a la familia Malpighiaceae, que comprende unos 75 géneros y 1300 especies nativas de regiones tropicales y subtropicales...
El 90 por ciento de estas especies son nativas de América del Sur ;el 10% restante está localizado en el continente africano y también en Indonesia, Malasia y Filipinas...
En la provincia argentina del Chaco, donde se encuentra ampliamente difundida, era conocida por los tobas como Cotapic Ita'a, que significa "padre del quebracho colorado". Con frecuencia se la encuentra mencionada en las investigaciones sobre medicina popular...
Sus flores y frutos se utilizan en infusiones como sedantes...
También está documentado el uso en baños de inmersión como relajante: se hierven varios gajos y hojas de la Mariposa y se añaden al agua del baño...
Sus tallos volubles son muy resistentes y en sus lugares de origen solían utilizarse para atar varas de techos de paja para ranchos y casas de los campesinos, en reemplazo de las lonjas de cuero...
Tumblr media
Como planta ornamental tiene el atractivo de su porte desgarbado, con flores pequeñas, amarillas, de cinco pétalos y los atractivos frutos en forma de sámaras (alas) de color rosado intenso, a veces rojo...
Frecuentemente la fructificación aparece al mismo tiempo en que la planta está florecida, dando el espectáculo simultáneo de flores amarillas y "maripositas" rojas que parecen estar libando de ellas...Amén... DTBM.!! 🙌🦋🌼🍃

Banisteriopsis Caapi
Banisteriopsis Caapi is a South American liana belonging to the Malpighiaceae family and one of the primary ingredients of the sacred hallucinogenic concoction, Ayahuasca. It is often used along with the leaves of the Psychotria Viridis plant. It is known as “the vine of the soul,” which signifies the spirit is free from all impurities. Shamans use this drink for inner healing and divination. 
Banisteriopsis Caapi is a giant woody, climbing vine or shrub which normally grows up to 30 m (98 ft.) in length. The plant flourishes in humus-rich and damp soil with lots of water. Stems are sericeous to glabrate twining themselves around other plants for support. Ayahuasca, Soulvine, Jagube, Caapi, and Yage are a few of the popular common names of the plant. 
For years, ayahuasca has been believed as a gift from the gods throughout the Amazon basin. To this day, various indigenous communities still view it as sacred. A “Master Plant Teacher” as they call it by which an individual could penetrate a spiritual healing portal. A lot of cultures also believe that it promotes self-awareness and dream-like visions and helps overcome existential challenges. It can also act as a natural anti-depressant and can pleasantly lift the mood and reduce anxiety and stress. Slightly hypnotic effects can be used for deep meditation or relaxation. After using the plant, you can fall asleep beautifully, accompanied by vivid and colorful dreams. 
Much continuing pharmacology and clinical examinations have delivered proof that Banisteriopsis Caapi may have therapeutic applications as an immune modulator, as well as in the treatment of some psychological maladies like alcoholism, substance abuse, and serotonergic insufficiencies.
