Chuchuhuasi bark, finely powdered, from Peru
Chuchuhuasi is the market name used for the bark of Maytenus macrocarpa, a plant of the staff-tree family, Celastraceae. This listing contains that bark milled to a fine powder. The supplier names bark as the material, powder as the form and Peru as the country; the Maya Herbs pouch repeats Chuchuhuasi, the botanical name, Powdered and Made in Peru. Mycotrop offers 250 g and 1 kg and sells the powder strictly as a collectible or souvenir item.

Name and classification
Kew’s World Checklist of Vascular Plants (WCVP) accepts Maytenus macrocarpa (Ruiz & Pav.) Briq., a name published in 1919. Among its synonyms is Maytenus chuchuhuasha Raym.-Hamet & Colas. The GBIF backbone follows a newer classification and places the species in the genus Monteverdia as Monteverdia macrocarpa (Ruiz & Pav.) Biral; both names refer to the same plant. WCVP records its native range in Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia and northern Brazil.
About the photos
The first photo shows the Maya Herbs pouch beside a clay bowl of powder; the second shows the reddish-brown powder on its own. The third photo, a branch with green leaves and orange-red fruits, is an illustration and not part of the delivery, which contains bark powder only. The species it shows cannot be confirmed from the image.
Related listing
Another plant of the same genus is sold as espinheira santa leaf powder from Brazil (Maytenus ilicifolia); it is a different species and a different plant part.
