Habitat in insula Jamaica, Wright et Wiles. 
This belongs to the section of Island Cinchone, which per-_ 
haps ought to form a distinct genus. It is a native of Jamaica, 
where it was first discovered by the late Dr. Wright of Edin- 
burgh, an indefatigable botanist, who ascertained it to be a di- 
stinet species, and afterwards described it in the Edinburgh Medi- 
eal Journal, under the name of C. triffora, from the pedun- 
cles being mostly three-flowered. I possess excellent specimens 
of it both in flower and fruit, which agreein every respect with 
those I have received from. Dr: Wright himself. The C. floribunda 
of Swartz, with which it has the greatest affinity, differs from 
it by the leaves being ovato-elliptical acuminate, not attenuated 
at the base; the corymbs of flowers are also much larger and 
closer ;' the teeth of the calyx shorter and broader; the tube of 
‘the corolla is much shorter and wider; and the capsules oblong 
cylindrical.
