Latua pubiflora (Palo de los brujos) is the sole representative of the monotypic endemic plant genus Latua native to Chile , where it prefers wet habitats in southern coastal mountains. Latua pubiflora produces four tropane alkaloids: scopolamine, hyoscyamine, apoatropine and 3α-cinnamoyloxitropane, giving it deliriant properties.[2]
