CINCHOWACE^E. 375 



Woods at the lower parts of the Andes, where it is cool at night. Low 

 hills in many parts of Bolivia, Peru, and Chili. Dr. Lindley observes, that 

 this is probably the plant meant in the drawing sent by Mutis to Linnaeus, 

 under the name of C. peruviana. In Peru it is one of the species called 

 Cascarilla boba de hoja morada, according to Ruiz, who states that the bark 

 is not known separately in commerce, but is mixed with those of C. lanceolata, 

 hirsuta, and nitida, and is fully equal to them (Quinol.); but Lindley states, 

 thai in his MS., he classes it only with the second-rate barks. Poppig, who 

 calls it Case, boba colorada, says that the bark in a fresh state is very bitter, 

 and may be useful for making cheap decoctions, as its value is low. It is not 

 now much collected. Reichel determined from Poppig's specimens that they 

 belong to the Huamalies bark of commerce. 



12. C. hirsuta, Ruiz and Pavon. — Young branches short-jointed, bluntly 4-angled, 

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

 edge, shining above, with hairy veins, not pitted beneath. Peduncles shaggy, trifid, densely 

 corymbose, in the axils of the upper leaves forming a compact, leafy thyrsus. Calyx-tube 

 tomentose, angular; limb deeply campanulate, pubescent, with five acuminate teeth re- 

 curved at the apex. Corolla with a cylindrical, tomentose tube, four times as long as that 

 of the calyx ; limb revolute, very shaggy. Fruit obovate, smooth, rather strongly-ribbed 

 and veined.

Occurs in high and cold situations on the Andes. It affords a kind of 

 Cascarilla fina, formerly employed under the name of Quina delgadilla or 

 delgada, but not now much collected, as other kinds can be more readily ob- 

 tained. (Ruiz.) Dr. Lindley is of opinion that it probably forms part of the 

 fine Yellow bark of commerce. 



13. C. glandulifera, Ruiz and Pavon. — Young shoots quadrangular, clothed with a 

 short fur. Leaves oblong, usually cordate, obtuse or acute, with short petioles, rugose, 

 undulated, shining and smooth above, covered with a short coarse hair beneath ; the se- 

 condary veins are prominent. Seldom any trace of the glands described by Ruiz and 

 Pavon as existing at the axils on the upper side, and when present, they are in the form 

 of a minute, discoloured, scar-like spot. Peduncles tomentose, leafy, branched, forming 

 a thyrsus rather than a cyme, in the axil of the upper leaves, the whole constituting a 

 loose, leafy inflorescence. Calyx-tube tomentose ; limb campanulate, nearly smooth, as 

 long as the tube, with five sharp, ovate teeth. Corolla tomentose, with a short, thick 

 tube ; the limb woolly inside.

There is a variety with smaller, more even leaves, not cordate ; this is the 

 C. mutisii, Lambert. 



Found on wooded mountains in Peru. It is called Cascarilla negrilla by 

 the bark collectors, and ranks next in quality to the bark of C. lanceolata, 

 and is much better than that of C. lancifolia. (Ruiz.) Poppig says it fur- 

 nishes the best bark gathered near Cuchero. The same writer states that the 

 Case, provinciana negrilla is obtained from this tree, growing in warmer 

 situations. Reichel was not able to identify Poppig's specimens of this bark, 

 with any known in trade, but is of opinion that it is equal to the best sorts 

 from Loxa. 



14. C. villosa, Pavon. — Young branches somewhat quadrangular, villous, with long, 

 loose hairs. Leaves ovate-lanceolate, or oblong-lanceolate, rather thin, acuminate, but 

 hardly acute, pointed at base, not shining, upper ones among the flowers ovate ; almost 

 destitute of hairs on the upper side, except the midrib ; beset with scattered, numerous,
