Deguelia utilis
Deguelia utilis, syn. Lonchocarpus utilis is plant species in the family Fabaceae. It is native to the tropical forests of Peru, as well as of Brazil and Guyana, growing from above sea level.
Cubé resin, the root extract from cubé and from barbasco, is used as a commercial insecticide and piscicide. The major active ingredients are rotenone and deguelin. Although "organic" rotenone is no longer considered an environmentally safe chemical.Miscellaneous
Cubé is toxic to insects, fish, and other pets. The primary threat to humans and other mammals comes from inhaling the powdered root or root extract.
