The second edition of a modern French work, Alibert’s Tratté 
de Fievres intermittentes, contains very exact figures of the 
orange-coloured Cinchona, as well as of the three following Mu- 
tisian species. They have been made from dried specimens, de- 
termined by M. Mutis, and supplied by M. Zea from his collection 
during his residence at Paris.*

difolia and C. lancifolia reach as far as the upper parts of the 
flower-tube; when on the contrary, in the red Cinchona (C. ob- 
longifolia) they are deeply hidden in the middle of the tube. 
C. cordifolia has two varieties. Var. @ foliis vix cordatis utrin- 
que glabris. y folits utrinque hirsutis. By the common peo- 
ple, in the kingdom of New Granada, it is called Velvet Bark. 
It grows under the 4th degree North latitude, in heights be- 
twixt 900 and 1440 toises: Cordate leaves occur but seldom: 
however, almost every branch exhibits some of them. C. cor- — 
difolia Mut. is, according to Bonpland’s examination, identical 
with C. pubescens Vahl, as proved by Jussieu’s collection, from 
which Vahl received his specimen. Joseph Jussieu had collect- 
ed, im 1738, this species of Cinchona and ©. Condaminea in the 
forests of Loxa. — PRE GBH SE oes ie
