V. THE LAMPINA.+ 
Tuts is the name given by Ruiz to the Cascarilla bobot of 
Peru, or to the bark of the C. lanceolata, Flor. Peruv.|| It is 
distinguishable by its thickness, from one line to two, according — 
‘to its bulk, which varies from that of a goose-quill to an inch 
and a half; it is well rolled, and shghtly rough on its exter- 
nal surface; the epidermis very fine, and cracked; of a sal- 
low colour, with spots more or less bright or dark, proceeding 
from some farimaceous lichens ; the internal surface rather rough 
and of a pale red; the fracture clear and easy in bel direc- 
tion. This bark is “readily discerned when mixec with the- 
"former, not only by its colour and thickness, but ey by. its 
bitterness, which is much more considerable, and approximates 
to that of the Calisaya ;§ its smell is not very perceptible. It 
occurs very commonly in the Peruvian of commerce. 
* ‘The cause of the lacy of this bark is its extreme fineness. The Cascarilleros have little

§ M. Ruiz formerly thought that the Calisaya was only the internal bark of the C, lenis 
lata, perhaps on account of their resemblance in thickness, bitterness, and other characte-
