Mimosa hostilis is an older botanical name for Mimosa tenuiflora, known in Mexico as Tepezcohuite. Root bark from this same species sourced in northeastern Brazil may be called jurema preta. Violet Dye Co sources its root bark from Mexico and never sells Brazilian-origin bark. Read The Many Names of a Root for fuller context.
