was easily detected." Reichel, who examined Poppig's specimens of 

 the bark, determined them to belong to the Huamalies bark of com- 

 merce.

 Ruiz Quinol. 60. Wooded mountains of the Andes, in high 

 and cold places near Pillao and Acomayo R. and P. and va- 

 rious other stations in the province of Panatahuas near Huanuco, 

 10 south of the line. Ruiz. 



Young branches short-jointed, bluntly quadrangular, covered with 

 coarse hair. Leaves oblong, acute or obtuse, coriaceous, revolute at 

 the margin, shining above, with the veins hairy, with prominent veins 

 covered with coarse shagginess on the under side, not scrobiculate ; 

 petioles short. Peduncles shaggy, trifid, densely corymbose, in the 

 axils of the upper leaves, forming a compact leafy thyrse. Calyx-tube 

 tomentose, angular ; limb deeply campanulate, pubescent, with 5 acu- 

 minate teeth recurved at the point. Corolla with a cylindrical tomen- 

 tose tube, 4 times as long as that of the calyx ; limb revolute, very 

 shaggy. Fruit obovate, smooth, rather strongly ribbed and veined. 

 Six specimens in Mr. Lambert's herbarium, and 2 in that of Dr. 

 Thomson, assure the distinctness of this species, which is not unlike 

 the hairy forms of Viburnum Tinus. It yields a kind of Cascarillo fino, 

 employed in medicine formerly, under the name of Quina delgadilla, or 

 delgada, but not collected now, because other kinds, especially C. nitida 

 can be gathered so much more readily. Ruiz. Nevertheless it appears 

 to be of the best quality ; and probably forms part of the fine Yellow 

 bark of the shops. 



841. C. glandulifera Fl. Peruv. iii. 1. t. 324. Cascarillo 

 glanduloso Ruiz Quinol. suppl. 5. C. Mutisii Lambert Illus- 

 trations p. 9. Wooded mountains of Peru, near Chicoplaya 

 R. and P. Mountains of Panatahuas and Huamalies, and those

Young shoots covered with a short fur, 4-cornered. Leaves oblong, 

 usually cordate, obtuse or acute, short stalked, very rugose, undulated, 

 shining and smooth on the upper side, covered with a short coarse 

 hairiness on the underside, the secondary veins of which are pro- 

 minent. There is seldom any trace of the glands described by Ruiz 

 and Pavon as existing at the axils of the leaves on the upper side, and 

 when they do appear, it is only in the form of a minute, discoloured, 

 scarlike area ; in the figure of the Flora Peruviana they are represented 

 on the under side of the leaf: but this is a mistake of the engraver, as I 

 have ascertained by examining the original drawing, or a copy of it, 

 in Mr. Lambert's possession. Peduncles tomentose, leafy, branched, 

 forming a thyrse rather than a cyme in the axil of the upper leaves ; 

 the whole constituting a loose leafy inflorescence. Calyx-tube tomen- 

 tose ; the limb campanulate, nearly smooth, as long as the tube, with 

 5 sharp ovate teeth. Corolla tomentose (not smooth as in the Flora 

 Peruviana), with a short thick tube, the limb according to Ruiz and 

 Pavon woolly inside. [Of this there is a well marked variety (?) with 

 much smaller, more even leaves which are not at all cordate, more 

 closely downy and less prominently veined on the under side; it is 

 the C. Mutisii a. of Lambert's Illustrations p. 9. Dr. Thomson has 

 two specimens of it, and Mr. Lambert three.] I have seen two spe-
