Psychotria nervosa
Florida native Rubiaceae; leaves used by Seminole in folk medicine; related to psychedelic Psychotria.
Psychotria nervosa, a Florida native shrub in the Rubiaceae family, has traditional use among the Seminole for fever, headache, fatigue, and nervous conditions. Its leaves contain purine alkaloids, flavonoids, and tannins, which contribute to its mild stimulant and nervine properties. Evidence is limited (Level C) for its modern uses as an antipyretic and mild stimulant.
The purine alkaloids (e.g., caffeine) in Psychotria nervosa likely act as adenosine receptor antagonists, producing mild central nervous system stimulation. Flavonoids and tannins may contribute to antipyretic effects through inhibition of cyclooxygenase (COX) and reduction of prostaglandin synthesis. The nervine action may involve modulation of GABAergic pathways, though specific mechanisms remain understudied.
