303. (20) QUINQUINA BLANC DE LOXA. No. 343. 



Note. This bark is in quills, and is attributed by Planchon to C. de- 

 currentifolia, Pav. See Hist, des Drag., t. iii., p. 194. This bark does 

 not occur in Howard's collection. By Weddell it is attributed to C. 

 pubescens, Vahl., which it closely resembles, but is thinner and rather 

 more bitter. 



(21) QUINQUINA DE Cuzco. 



Note. This specimen consists of four varieties, of which a and c be- 

 long apparently to C. pubescens, Vahl., while 6 and d seem to be the bark 

 of C. scrobiculata, Wedd. 



(22) QUINQUINA CARTHAGENE BRUN. No. 346. 



Note. This bark is in flat, somewhat arched, pieces, and seems to 

 belong to C. cordifolia, Mutis. 



(23) QUINQUINA CARTHAGENE JAUNE. Two specimens. No. 347. 

 Note. This appears to be the bark of C. cordifolia, Mutis, also. 



(24) QUINQUINA CARTHAGENE JAUNE ROUGE. No. 348. 



Note. This is probably the bark of C. pubescens, Vahl., but is rather 

 more fibrous than usual. 



(25) QUINQUINA CARTHAGENE SPONGIEUX. 



Note. This is in slender quills, and corresponds exactly in taste and 

 fracture to the quills of inferior bark of C. lancifolia, Mutis, in Howard's 

 collection. 



(26) QUINQUINA DE COLOMBIE, ou D'ANTIOQUE. No. 16. 



Note. There is a reference on the label of this bottle to the Journ. de 

 Pharm., t. xvi., p. 240, and a memorandum to the following effect en- 

 closed in it : " Guibourt says that the Q. de la Colombie ou d'Antioque 

 does not differ from the Nouvcau Galisaya except in its age. He says it 

 probably lay hid for a considerable time in some magazine, from which it 

 was at last taken for the purposes of commerce. He also says that the 

 Quinquina Colombie fibreux appears to be a very fibrous variety of the 

 above, and resembles the eighth kind analysed by M. Vauquelin under 

 the name of C. pubescens mentioned in the Journ. de Pharm., t. xvi., 

 p. 229. On the other hand, the most fibrous pieces answer to the 

 Quinquina Carthagene spongieux of the Hist, des Drog., No. 349 ; and 

 to the Quina naranjade, or the Quinquina orange" of Mutis, Journ. de 

 Pharm., t. xvi., p. 225. From these circumstances it would seem that 

 the barks, No. 15, 16, 17, belong to the same tree growing in different 

 situations, and are the same as the Quinquina carthagene spongieux 

 and the Quinquina carthagene spongieux autre." 



This bark corresponds exactly with the C. Pitayensis of Howard's 

 collection, but its bitterness is not so quickly developed as in the 

 bark of " Nouveau Calisaya." 



(27) QUINQUINA ROUCTE DE LIMA. No. 341. 



Note. This bark is evidently that of C. Peruviana, How., to which 

 it is referred in the Hist, des Drog., t. iii., p. 193. A memorandum is 

 enclosed with this specimen, and runs thus: " Guibourt designates by 

 the name of Quinquina rouge de Lima a bark several chests of which 

 he found at a druggist's under the name of Quinquina do Lima. He 

 thinks this cinchona is formed of the young barks of the Quinquina
