Melicoccus bijugatus - Quenepa/Spanish Lime

Incredibly fragrant blooming Brugmansia tree at nighttime.  Contains tropane alkaloids (Scopolamine, Atropine, Hyoscyamine) which act as powerful anticholinergics.  These are used in medicine to stimulate the heart and treat motion sickness.  When ingested in doses greater than those of therapeutic ones they are infamous for causing a prolonged state of amnesic delirium.  On rare occasions they are used in high doses for intoxication.  Low doses elicit vivid dreams.
