Ground bobinsana bark from Peru
Bobinsana is the name under which Calliandra angustifolia is traded. Here the bark has been milled to a fine, even powder of a light brown colour. The supplier lists the plant part as bark and the country as Peru; the kraft pouch carries the label "Powder" and a "Made in Peru" badge. Three weights are available, 25 g, 100 g and 1 kg, and only the quantity changes between them. Mycotrop sells the powder strictly as a collectible or souvenir item.

The species behind the name
Calliandra angustifolia Spruce ex Benth. is accepted in the GBIF backbone and in the World Checklist of Vascular Plants (WCVP) of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. It belongs to the Fabaceae, the legume family, and was described in 1875. WCVP records it as native to Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and the North region of Brazil. In a Colombian plant catalogue it appears as a shrub or tree.
Powder or whole leaves
The bobinsana range has two forms of the same species from Peru. This listing is the ground bark; the other holds dried whole leaves. If you want to see the plant material in its natural shape, the leaves are the better match; the powder shows only colour and texture. Both are in the Bobinsana category.
Storing your botanicals
Keep dried plants in their tightly closed pouch or in an airtight jar, away from light, moisture and heat. Powders absorb moisture easily, so close them again straight away. For extracts, tinctures and capsules, follow the instructions on the label and the printed date.
Before using a plant
- Keep plants out of the reach of children and pets.
- If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or taking any medication, ask a doctor or pharmacist first: many plants interact with medicines.
- Stop immediately if you have an allergic reaction or feel unwell.
