The specimens collected by Speke and Grant and by Scott-Elliot represent n 

 jjcrfectly glabrous state and have eglandular calyces {H. fehrifuya, var. glabra, 

 Oliver in Trans. Linn. Soc. xxix. 108); but they differ in no other point from the 

 typical form; on the other hand, Fischer, 378, has densely tomentose leaves. H. 

 febrifuga is the " Quina" of the Portuguese of Mozambique and used as a tonic and 

 febrifuge. It is mentioned and figured under the native name Kumbanzo in 

 Livingstone, Miss. Trav. 648,
