Cascarilla naranjada de Santa Fe. Cinchona: lancifolia of 
Mutis, C. tunita of Lopez,* angustifolia of Ruiz and Pavon.+ 
The specimens brought by M. Lopez from America on his 
second voyage to Spain, under the name of C. tunita, belong 
undoubtedly to the same species which Mutis has designated 
wines that of lancifolia ; for M. Zea,, who aS SO 4 
= M. Lopez says that the discovery of the tree to which this bark belongs was made ts him 
in 1776 at Santa Fe. Messrs. Ruiz and Pavon have given: a botanical description i it accords 
ing to the specimens of M, Lopez,

Great. discussions have taken place on the qualities of this Quinquina, its discovery, the time 
when it came into use, &c, between M. Ruiz and his pupil, and the pupils of M. Mutis, among 
whom we remark M. Zea, The latter regards this Quinquina as the most ancient and the most: 
rare; yet M. Mutis, in speaking of the first. Quinquina that was used, says nothing of its 
species. Early authors only say that the bark had a red colour similar to that of Cinnamon, 
which may equally apply to some species of. Lexa; MEE wi meee tent Quinquina of 
Mutis, As to its febrifage and balsamic qualities rience alone ¢an pronounce upon 
them, We shall refer, by the way, to what Don Pegars Banares, a Spanish chemist, and 
a stranger to the. discussion which has arisen between Zea and Ruiz, says of the fine 
Quinquinas of. Santa Fe: «6 The effects of these Quinquinas have not answered the wishes and 
exaggeration of the author; and their principles, except the red Quinquina, are not the same 
with those of Loxa and the Calisaya; the orange Quinquina does net affect animal jelly; the 
yellow does nut decompose the jelly, but, as well as the white, often turns the solution of 
sulphate of iron green.’’ We intend to repeat. these analyses, together with those of the other.
