Historical
The term "Oco" in all Tukanoan languages means "water". In the westernmost Colombian Amazonia the leaves are often used as additives in the preparation of Ayahuasca (Banisteriopsis caapi). The Sionas use this species to "enhance the visions" to "bring them into focus and bring about longer duration". This plant was formerly known as Banisteriopsis rusbyana."(4)
In northeastern Peru, eastern Ecuador, and western Colombia the leaves of Diplopterys cabrerana are commonly prepared with Banisteriopsis caapi, in the preparation of Ayahuasca.
