It is native to Monos island of Trinidad and Tobago, Venezuela, the Venezuelan Antilles, Guyana, Brazil, and northwest Argentina, and has been introduced to eastern Tropical Africa, Réunion, Mauritius, India, and Assam. A poisonous evergreen shrub typically 0.5 to 3 m (2 to 10 ft) tall, it is commonly cultivated as an ornamental, and as an ingredient in ayahuasca and other potions, usually under its synonym Brunfelsia hopeana.
