province of Minas Geraes. Scitrus multiflora, Nees et Mart.

crowded; sterile stamens 3 or 6. h. S. Native of Bra- 
zil, in the province of Minas Geraes, where it is called Quina

would be a good substitute for Peruvian bark in intermittent 
fevers.

tea at the base of each pedicel. 
Simple-leaved Ticorea. Shrub 10 feet. 
Cult. A mixture of loam, sand, and peat will answer the 
species; and cuttings, taken from ripened wood, will root in a 
pot of sand, with a hand-glass placed over them, in heat.
