    M. boaria and M. magellanica are the most known species in Europe and the United States because these are the most cold-tolerant trees of this mostly tropical genus. The bark of M. krukovii has a variety of documented medicinal properties; it is also sometimes admixed into decoctions of ayahuasca.
