The plant is said to be an Ayahuasca Additive, per Ott, and also to contain Ibogaine. I've done tons of searching, but am unable to find much information on this plant, other than a warning:

From Schultes (1979) :
Taberneamontana sanango has been for many years a panacea in the uppermost Amazon. In fact, the name sanango in Peru signifies an almost all-purpose medicinal plant.
In the area of Leticia, where Colombian, PEruvian, Brazilian and Tikuna influences converge, this shrub is employed as a febrifuge, an emetic, a diuretic, a calmative and for a series of other minor ailments. The species deserves a thorough phytochemical and pharmacological ivestigation with modern, sophisticated scientific methods. The plant is very strongly alkaloidal."
From Barbira-Freedman, personnal communication :
"Used as an admixture plant to ayahuasca. It can be a great teacher, but it is extremely dangerous -it may cause death- and only the strongest vegetalistas can prepare it".
This plant is not for beginners.

Uchu Sanango Super Rare Ayahuasca Plant!!
T. sananho hails from the Amazon Basin. This close relative of Gardenias has a powerful fragrance which is many times stronger than Gardenias and other Tabernaemontanas. A single open flower will scent a large commercial greenhouse and will overpower any other fragrance present. One placed outside could be smelled well over 100 yards away! The fragrance is absolutely intoxicating! This tropical beauty has large, attractive, glossy leaves that can be 6-10 inches long and 3-5 inches wide. The flowers are white with a touch of yellow in the center. They have a deep nectar tube with 5 long petals which spiral from the center like ribbons! In it’s native environment T. sananho is used medicinally by several tribes with various usages. Many tribes consider the plant sacred and shamans often plant it in their gardens. The leaves are used as an Ayahuasca admixture and also as an ingredient in arrow poisons. No serious ethnobotanical collection should be without this beautiful and rare plant!
