This belongs to the genus Cosmibuena of the Flora Peruviana; 
but, for the want of more distinctive differential generic marks, I 
have thought best to keep it still united to the genus Cinchona. 
This is certainly the Cinchona ovalifolia of Mutis, which, -how- 
ever, must not be confounded with the C. ovalifolia of Bonpland, 
a species totally different: of this Bonpland was well aware in 
describing his plant in Plante Aiquinoctiales. Professor Kunth 
more recently, in the Wova Genera et Specics Plantarum, has 
been led into an error in considering Mutis’s plant the same with 
that of Bonpland, an opinion which is quite at variance with 
the figure in Plante Aiquinoctiales, which has not the least 
resemblance to Mutis’s plant, and which Bonpland has there 
distinctly stated to belong to the genus Cosmibuena of the Flora 
Peruviana. 'The note of Humboldt (with respect te the @. 
grandi iflora, Blor: Peruv.) at the end of the description in 
ne Nova Generu et Species Plantarum, has no 
the plant there described, but distinctly to the ovali ifolia’ of 
Mutis. The synonyms, therefore, ought to be expnnges ae 
gether, as they belong to the present species.
