Pilocarpus is a genus of about 13 species of plants belonging to the family Rutaceae, native to the Neotropics of South America.

Various species are important pharmacologically as a source of the parasympathomimetic alkaloid pilocarpine.

[1] Many of the species have the common name jaborandi.

The taxonomic name Pilocarpus is derived from ancient Greek πῖλος wool, felt + καρπός fruit.
