about three times as long as the cup of the calyx. The limb on each side smooth, sur- 

 mounted by an enlarged calyx.

Found in woods in Colombia and around Sante Fe. Dr. Lindley states 

 that it has the credit of furnishing the best Pale bark of commerce, but ac- 

 cording to Pereira, it affords the new spurious yellow bark, which is the Quin- 

 quina de Carthagene spongieux of Guibourt, and which he found to be 

 identical with the Quina naranjada of Mutis, which is indubitably the pro- 

 duct of this species. 



5. C. lucum^efolia, Pavon. — All parts of the plant quite smooth, except the corolla. 

 Leaves oval, lanceolate, obtuse, coriaceous, shining, somewhat revolute at the edges. No 

 trace of pits on the lower surface ; gradually narrowing into rather a long petiole. Pe- 

 duncles axillary, corymbose, longer than the leaves, somewhat spreading, but stiff, often 

 forming a large open thyrsus. Calyx with a campanulate limb, having 5 shallow, trian- 

 gular teeth. Corolla tomentose, except at the base, which is nearly smooth, with the 

 tube thrice as long as the calyx. The limb shaggy inside.

This species is found at Loxa in Peru, and is placed by Ruiz among those 

 which furnish the Quina Jina de Loxa. 



6. C. lanceolata, Ruiz and Pavon. — Branches smooth to the inflorescence. Leaves 

 almost smooth at all ages ; generally quite elliptical and acute at each end, sometimes 

 more oblong, occasionally roundish-oblong and obtuse or almost cordate at base ; coria- 

 ceous, very shining on the upper surface, with rather prominent veins beneath, which are 

 hairy or smooth, usually hairy at the axils, and but slightly, if at all scrobiculate. Pe- 

 tioles smooth, sometimes downy when young, from a tenth to a sixth as long as the ex- 

 pansion. Peduncles panicled, corymbose, scarcely longer than the upper leaves, to 

 which they are axillary, forming a close, compact thyrsus, covered with a short thick 

 down. Tube of the calyx downy. Limb campanulate, shining, mostly smooth, with 

 acute or acuminate triangular teeth. Tube of the corolla cylindrical, tomentose, about 

 thrice as long as that of the calyx. Limb very shaggy within. 



Ruiz and Pavon, Fl. Peruv. ii. 51, iii. t. 223 ; Lindley, Fl. Med. 416. 



Inhabits cold elevated situations in the Andes. The bark is said by Ruiz 

 and Pavon to be known as cascarilla or Quina boba amarilla, from its 

 colour internally, and that the flavour is like that of Quina de Calisaya. 

 Ruiz in his manuscript states that it is also called Quina anteada, cascarilla 

 amarilla, and case, boba de muna, and that it is one of the finest sorts. 

 That it is the source of Calisaya or yellow bark is confirmed in part by the 

 observations of Guibourt, who says that on an examination of specimens 

 brought from Upper Peru by M. Delondre, purporting to be from trees fur- 

 nishing calisaya bark, they were found to belong to C. micrantha, conda- 

 minea, and three other species, but in the interior of one of the quills, he 

 detected a leaf, appearing to belong to C. lanceolata, and hence he con- 

 jectures this to be really the species affording the bark. 



7. C. ovalifolia, Humb. and Bonp. — Branches smooth, apparently angular and fur- 

 rowed. Leaves rather thin, oval, scarcely acute at the apex, tapering into an unusually 

 short petiole, except in the case of those leaves next the panicle, which are rounded at 

 the base, so as to have an ovate or even cordate form ; not shining, smooth on the 

 upper side, finely and impalpably downy on the lower surface, especially when young; 

 with the veins, particularly the axils, distinctly hairy, but no signs of pits ; when old
