IV. Fine Cascarilla of Chicoplaya, de Flor pequena 
(with small flowers).* 
The specimens arrived with those of the former species, but 
without the bark. This new _— is much esteemed where it 
grows. 
The bark of the C. Caribea of Jacquin is not used in Spain. 
It is thought that this might form a new genus between Cin- 
chona and Portlandia. 
Lastly, we shall just observe that the botanists of Peru think 
that the C. corymbifera of Forster should be a little better ex- 
amined on account of its axillary coneahi, a character pecaier 
to Portlandia. |

covered by Tafalla, and known here by the drawn wh ‘eo 
has caused to be carefully executed on the spot, and which he 
has addressed to the authors of the Flor. Per. These botanists 
have published nothing on the new. discoveries, because they 
are waiting for the specimens and barks which have been sent 
from America, and which are probably at Cadiz. Being un- 
able to copy the plates, we have noted the most distinctive 
characters which each drawing has presented to be, in order to
