Abstract
This paper provides a short overview of ritual African hallucinogens. In addition to examples already listed by Schultes and Hofmann in their classic text books, Boophane disticha, Alchornea floribunda, Monadenium lugardae, Mostuea spp. and Voacanga bracteata are identified as African botanicals with proven or alleged hallucinogenic potential.
