CINCHONA GLANDULIFERA Ruiz & Pavon 
As far as I can learn, this little-known species has not 
been collected until recently, since it was originally 
discovered and described by Ruiz and Pavon in central 
Peru. Standley discusses Cinchona glandulifera in his 
treatment of the genus in the Flora of Peru and states 
that, besides the herbarium specimen at Berlin (probably 
the type) which was destroyed during the war, material 
(an isotype‘) is also to be found in the Delessert Herbar- 
ium. Fortunately a photograph (Field Museum neg. no. 
102) was made of the Berlin specimen and this agrees 
very well with plates of this species published in the 
works of Ruiz and Pavon and of Howard. 
Recently my good friend, Ing. Hernan Augusto (a 
Peruvian agronomist and Superintendent of Fundo 
Sinchono, and formerly associated with the U.S. Gov- 
ernment Cinchona Mission in Peru), made available ex- 
cellent specimens and data of an unidentified cinchona 
collected by him in the upper Monzon River valley near 
Tingo Maria in 1944. His material proved to represent 
Cinchona glandulifera, from the type locality, and was 
an excellent match for the specimen of Ruiz and Pavon. 
The type material of Ruiz and Pavon originated in the 
mountains near Chicoplaya (‘‘in Peruviae Andium mon- 
tibus nemorosis ad Chicoplaya runcationes, Carpales dic- 
tas’). The species is also reported by them from Monzon, 
Panatahuas, and Cochero (also written Cocheros or Cu- 
chero). 
The type locality of Chicoplaya is not shown on most 
modern maps’; it is a hacienda in the Monzon valley 
'Chicoplaya, type locality of Cinchona glandulifera, and nearby San 
Antonio de Playa Grande, type locality of C. micrantha R. & P. ap- 
parently were not visited by Ruiz and Pavon but by their collectors, 
including Juan Tafalla, for the localities are not indicated on the map 
of the itinerary of Ruiz and companions recently published (Field
