or certainly over 14 per cent. sulphate of quinine. 
This is, then, quite the richest bark of all; and yet the flowers 
are light red, the capsules and the leaves very similar to those 
of Dr. Weddell’s var. microcarpa, which I published from an 
engraved figure received from this gentleman. When Mr. 
Ledger’s seeds were in this country, I was consulted by Mr. 
Money respecting them, and gave a favourable judgment from 
the appearance of the capsules as those of the microcarpa 
variety. 
Dr. Weddell’s var. microcarpa differs apparently from the 
Ledgeriana* in the absence of scrobicules and the pubescent cha- 
racter of the under surface of the leaves. I have mentioned else- 
where that Dr. Weddell gave me specimens of fine Calisaya-barks 
which he obtained in his second journey, but without botanical 
description ; these were the verde, the morada, and the Zambita. 
Nothing is more important for the botanical classification of these 
Cinchone than the examination of the barks. In this case, 
whilst the verde resembles much the verde of Christy, the moradat 
(as far as can be judged from such a small specimen) may be 
identical with that of the Ledgeriana. The plant itself (from 
Mr. Christy’s seed) in one of its forms seems to be identical with 
form A of my plate vi. 
It will be noticed that I have supposed the different forms A, 
B, and C to be relatively connected with the preponderance of 
the male elements in A, of the female element in B, and a sort of 
neutral state in C, as shown by the dissection of the flowers. 
Failing to observe this, Professor Fliickiger has attached to a 
copy (reversed) of my form B both the dissection of a macho and of 
a hembra flower. In his fruit-bearing branch, No. 42 above, he 
has very properly only given the capsule and seed. On the whole, 
I am pleased that this very competent judge has adopted my 
illustrations (in so far) as “nach Exemplaren aus Java," and 
* See his engraved plate published in my * Quinology.' 
* Especially a specimen from Larecaja, that from Yungas rather less,
