The specimens collected by Speke and Grant and by Scott-Elliot represent a 
perfectly glabrous state and have eglandular calyces (H. febrifuga, var. glabra, 
Oliver in Trans. Linn. Soc. xxix. 108); but they differ in no other point from the 
typical form; on the other hand, Fischer, 378, has densely tomentose leaves. H. 
Sebrifuga is the “ Quina” of the Portuguese of Mozambique and used as a tonic and 
febrifuge. It is mentioned and figured under the native name Kumbanzo in 
Livingstone, Miss. Trav. 648,

Sometimes minutely puberulous when quite young, otherwise glabrous.
