Pixuri is a rapé sold under the name of the Puyanawa, an Indigenous people of Mâncio Lima in western Acre, Brazil. The supplier lists pixuri leaves and murici ash and sells it as a tobacco product. It comes in labelled metal tins of 10 g or 50 g. See also: Rapé, Puyanawa.

Puyanawa rapé at Mycotrop

The two Puyanawa blends in the shop, Pixuri and Jagube, come from one supplier; its article numbers RAPU02 and RAPU01 match the references on the product pages. The supplier sells them in 5, 10, 20 and 50 g, and Mycotrop stocks the 10 g and 50 g packs. The tin labels show Puyanawa, the blend name and the words Native Brazilian Snuff. Rapeh and hapé are other spellings of rapé. Like everything in the shop, both blends are sold strictly as collectible or souvenir items.

Jagube vine ash and pixuri leaves

For Jagube, the supplier identifies the vine as Banisteriopsis caapi, also called jagube and mariri, an accepted species of the Malpighiaceae family. It writes that the Puyanawa make this rapé with ash from the remaining wood of the vine, and that the practice was begun by their cacique, or chief. Pixuri leaves are part of both blends; the supplier gives puxuri and apuxuri as other names for the pixuri tree. It does not give a botanical name for the murici used in the Pixuri blend, so none is given here.

The Puyanawa, as described by the supplier

The supplier describes the Puyanawa, also written Poyanawa, as an Indigenous people of Mâncio Lima in western Acre, Brazil, close to the Peruvian border. It names Barão do Rio Branco and Ipiranga as their main communities, within the Poyanawa Indigenous Land, which it says was formally recognised in 2001. According to the same source, their language belongs to the Pano family and is recorded as Ûdikuî, meaning “true language”. These details are the supplier’s; Mycotrop has not checked them against other sources.
