Cut jurema preta root bark from Herborist
This product is the cut root bark of Mimosa tenuiflora (syn. Mimosa hostilis), a spiny shrub or small tree of the legume family, Fabaceae. The bark is traded as Mimosa hostilis root bark, often shortened to MHRB, and in Brazil the plant is called jurema preta. Mycotrop stocks it in two sizes from Herborist, 50 g and 250 g. Both bags hold the same cut bark, so you only choose the quantity.

One plant, two names
The GBIF backbone and the World Checklist of Vascular Plants (WCVP) of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, give Mimosa tenuiflora as the accepted name, published in 1810. Mimosa hostilis is listed there as a synonym: George Bentham published it in 1875, so it is the later of the two names, and the botanical rule of priority favours the earlier one. Bentham's name is still the usual trade name for the bark, which is why it appears in the product name and on the Herborist label.
Native range
According to the WCVP, the species is native from Mexico through Central America (El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama) to Colombia, Venezuela and north-eastern and south-eastern Brazil. It has been introduced to parts of South-East Asia, including Java, Sumatra and New Guinea. Its common names follow this range: jurema preta in Brazil, tepescohuite in Mexico.
The bark
A botanical study of the species in Mexico (Camargo-Ricalde, 2000) describes the species' stem bark as wrinkled, reddish-brown to grey and fibrous, with a high tannin content. That description refers to the bark of the stem, not to the root bark sold here. The product photos show irregular, reddish-brown pieces of root bark and a kraft-paper pouch with the Herborist label.
Packaging and delivery
Orders are prepared on business days and leave in neutral outer packaging that does not describe the contents. When tracking is available, the link is sent by email after dispatch. Delivery estimates, the 14-day withdrawal period and its statutory exceptions are explained on Delivery, tracking and returns.
