Known as the “skin tree” of the Mayas, mimosa tenuiflora, or “tepezcohuite,” is a shrub that grows in Chiapas, Mexico, on a narrow strip of land located at an altitude of 800 to 1000 meters. According to Mayan tradition, the powder obtained from the bark has magical properties. The tree is now recognized as part of Mexico’s national heritage.
