CINCHONA PARABOLICA Pavon ex Howard 
In 1986, Standley described Cinchona Delessertiana, 
basing his species on an unnumbered collection of An- 
drew Matthews (in herb. Delessert) from Chachapoyas 
(Department of Amazonas) in northern Peru. Comment- 
ing on his new species Standley wrote: ‘‘It is hard to 
understand why this Matthews collection, made long 
ago, has not been named, but I can find no mention of 
it in literature. The species is a well marked one charac- 
terized by the very dense pubescence of short, spreading 
hairs that cover all parts of the plant.’’ Although the 
Matthews collection had remained unnamed since col- 
lected, a binomial, C. parabolica Pavon, had been applied 
to the same tree in 1862 when Howard published the 
‘*Tllustrations of the Nueva Quinologia of Pavon.’’ So 
Standley’s name must be reduced to synonymy. 
Fortunately we have not only an ample description 
(Pavon ex Howard) and a good illustration of the species, 
but also what may be considered to be the type speci- 
men of C. parabolica. 'The latter, located in the herbar- 
ium at Madrid, was photographed by the Field Museum 
(photograph no. 29688) and yields the following data 
from the label: ‘*Cinchona parabolica, Cascarilla con hajas 
rugosas, N. 562. L. 723. Ex Loxa.”’” Howard states that 
his plate was drawn from this identical Madrid specimen. 
A study of the ‘‘type specimen’’ at Madrid and of 
Howard’s plate and the original description indicate 
'These specimens of Raimondi, located in the Raimondi Herbarium 
of the Museo de Historia Natural ‘‘Javier Prado’’ in Lima were ten- 
tatively identified by me in Lima as C. glandulifera R. & P. (see Hodge, 
W.H.: “‘Notas sobre los especimenes de cinchona del Herbario de 
Raimondi’’ in Bol. Mus. Hist. Nat. (Lima) 9 (1945) 63-64).
