'''Tabernaemontana''' is a genus of 100-110 species of [[flowering plant]]s in the family [[Apocynaceae]], with a pan-tropical distribution. They are [[shrub]]s and small [[tree]]s growing to 1-15 m tall. The [[leaf|leaves]] are [[evergreen]], [[Leaf#Arrangement_on_the_stem|opposite]], 3-25 cm long, with milky sap. The [[flower]]s are fragrant, white, 1-5 cm diameter.
Some members of the genus ''Tabernaemontana'' are used as additives to some versions of the psychedelic drink [[Ayahuasca]].<ref>[http://www.serendipity.li/dmt/hoasca.html#tbl1 Ayahuasca Analogues]</ref>
'''Ervatamia''' is one of the many synonyms for the genus.
