The three species of the genus Metteniusa in<br />
<br />
Colombia thrive primarily in cloud forests. These<br />
<br />
trees bear large fruits (Gentry 1993, 474f.*). The<br />
<br />
genus constitutes its own family but is also<br />
<br />
assigned to the families Alangiaceae and<br />
<br />
Icacinaceae (Brako and Zarucchi 1993, 573*).<br />
<br />
Karsten has even seen a certain resemblance to the<br />
<br />
Convolvulaceae:<br />
<br />
The fruit and seed formation of this treewhose<br />
<br />
bitter-tasting seeds are a not<br />
<br />
unimportant source of nourishment for the<br />
<br />
tribe of Arguaco Indians who inhabit the<br />
<br />
peaks of the mountains of St. Marta-isolate<br />
<br />
it from its natural relatives, the Cordiceae and<br />
<br />
the Asperifoliae. (Karsten 1858, 1:80)<br />
<br />
In the Sierra Madre de Santa Marta, the tree is<br />
<br />
known as canyi. It is said to have ritual significance<br />
<br />
for the Kogi of Colombia.333 The priests (mamas)<br />
<br />
attribute strong psychoactive effects to the tree's<br />
<br />
chestnutlike fruits (Reichel-Dolmatoff 1977,<br />
<br />
285*). Whether this plant truly is psychoactive is<br />
<br />
questionable, for it is eaten as a food in Venezuela,<br />
<br />
albeit after having been cooked (Lozano-C. and<br />
<br />
Lozano 1988,26).<br />
<br />
Another species, Metteniusa tessmanniana<br />
<br />
(Sleumer) Sleumer [syn. AveZedoa tessmanniana<br />
<br />
Sleumer], is found in Peru (Brako and Zarucchi<br />
<br />
1993,573*).</td><br />
