Huanaco, Huamalies, &c. ; it, like the last species, is called Cascarilla fina. 

 Poppig speaks of a bark under the name of Case, hoja de Okiva, which he 

 thinks is produced by this tree ; the same has been noticed by Ruiz, but he 

 does not consider it to have this origin. 



3. C. CONDAM1NEA, Huml. 



and Bonpl. — Branches 

 smooth to the inflores- 

 cence. Leaves quite 

 smooth at all periods of 

 growth, usually ovate-lan- 

 ceolate, sometimes nar- 

 rower and only lanceolate, 

 occasionally ovate ; rather 

 thin, not shining on the 

 upper surface, or but little 

 so in some specimens; 

 mostly with a pit or scro- 

 bicula at the axils of 

 veins beneath, when full 

 grown ; this pit is either 

 naked or ciliated, but 

 young leaves are indis- 

 tinctly or not all scrobi- 

 culate. Petioles smooth, 

 about a fourth the length 

 of the leaves ; stipules 

 oblong, obtuse, membra- 

 nous, smooth. Peduncles 

 panieled, corymbose, 

 forming a large, loose, 

 very downy thyrsus, in the 

 axils of the upper leaves. 

 Tube of the calyx tomen- 

 tose, limb shortly urceo- 

 late, 5-toothed, pubescent, a - ™l* t 

 not shining ; the teeth 

 acute, roundish, triangu- 

 lar. Tube of the corolla slender, about four times as long as that of the calyx, tomen- 

 tose ; limb very shaggy within.

Inhabits on the mountains near Loxa, and several other places in Peru, 

 always in micaceous schist, and occupies a zone of 1800 feet growing at 

 elevations between 5700 and 7500 feet. According to Dr. Lindley, a manu- 

 script note of M. Bonpland, in Mr. Lambert's Herbarium, states, this is the C. 

 lancifoliaof Mutis, but Humboldt asserts that species to be the same as C. an- 

 gustifolia, Ruiz, which he also deems to be different from C. condami?iea. This 

 species furnishes the Cascarilla fina de uritusinga or Crown, or Loxa bark. 



2. Limb of corolla not stupose. Leaves not scrobiculate. 



4. C. lancifolia, Mutis. — Branches quadrangular, except when very young, when 

 they are covered with short spreading hairs. Leaves oblong, lanceolate, very acute at 

 both ends, revolute at the edge ; somewhat coriaceous, not shining, smooth above, thinly 

 beset with hairs on the veins underneath, not scrobiculate. Peduncles axillary, hairy, 

 3-fid, shorter than the leaves, and not forming a panicle or thyrsus ; the divisions cymose 

 and about 5-fiowered. Tube of calyx tomentose ; limb smooth, campanulate, 3 — 5- 

 toothed, teeth revolute at the apex. Corolla hairy, the smallest in the genus, with a tube 



C. condaminea. 

 b. Ovary and style, c. Corolla, d. Capsule split into 2 cocci. 

 Capsule divided, showing the 2 cells. /. Seeds in capsule, g. Single 

 seed.
