Galbulimima belgraveana is a hallucinogenic plant. Its common names include agara[1] and white magnolia.[2] It is native to northeastern Australia , Malaysia, and Papua New Guinea. Papuans (who tend to use this drug the most) boil the bark and the leaves together with another plant, called Homalomena,[3] in order to make tea. This tea leads to a deep sleep, in which it is said that vivid dreams and visions occur. The plant itself grows to about 90 feet, it has no petals and its flower are a yellow-brown colour.
Several psychoactive alkaloids structurally related to himbacine, a muscarinic receptor antagonist, have been isolated from the plant, but the primary psychoactive constituent responsible for the plant's hallucinogenic effects has not yet been identified.[4] The tree is also used for its wood.[2]
