CINCHONACE.E. 377 



ferent from the species called by that name by Mr. Lambert. Dr. Lindley 

 says that Ruiz, in his MS., speaks of the bark as being indifferent, and says 

 it is the Quina roxa of Santa Fe, the red cinchona of Mutis. Bergen found 

 this was the case, and that it was the poor Red bark known in commerce as 

 Quinquina nova. 



18. C. caduciflora, Bonpland. — Dr. Lindley says that he has seen no specimens, but 

 that it appears to differ from the last in its corolla being quite smooth, with a tube of 

 only twice the length of the limb of the calyx, and in the stamens being inserted near 

 the base of the tube, and not near its middle; nor is the fruit obovate. 



Bonpland, PI. JEqui., i. 167 ; Lindley, Flor. Med. 424. 



Grows near the town of Jaen de Bracamoros. It is stated in the Plantes 

 JEquinoctiales that the bark of it is called Cascaritta bora, and that no use is 

 made of it, but that the trunk contains a great quantity of resin. 



19. C. stenocarpa, Lambert. — Branches somewhat quadrangular, slightly pubescent 

 when young. Leaves elliptical, acute, tapering to the base, where they terminate in a 

 long, smooth footstalk, rather shining, not coriaceous ; smooth on the upper side, paler 

 beneath, and slightly hairy, particularly on the veins and at the axils ; principal veins 

 prominent. Calyx-tube long, narrow, tornentose ; limb 5-parted, pubescent, rather mem- 

 branous, and with the segments acute. Corolla pubescent ; tube slender, infundibuliform, 

 rather more than thrice as long as that of the calyx; limb slightly spreading, with nar- 

 row, acute segments, which are smooth, except at the edges. Flowers in terminal, thyr- 

 soid, loose, leafless, pubescent panicles. Fruit long, narrow, smooth, of the same width 

 at each end. 



Lambert, Illus., 13; Lindley, Flor. Med. 425.- 



Found at Jaen in the mountains of Loxa. Dr. Lindley says this species 

 is so like the last, except that the corolla is proportionably longer, that he 

 should be inclined to think them the same, if M. Bonpland had not stated 

 that the leaves of that species were similar to those of C. magnifolia. No- 

 thing is known respecting its bark. 



20. C. macrocarpa, Vahl. — Young branches acutely 4-angled, very tornentose. Leaves 

 coriaceous, obovate, obtuse, revolute at the edge, sometimes a little cordate ; when young 

 tornentose on both sides ; when full grown, smooth and shining above, except the mid- 

 rib and principal veins, which continue tornentose ; beneath, thinly covered with down, 

 except the midrib and large veins, which are very tornentose. Cyme terminal, of about 

 9 pedicellate flowers in 3 parcels ; very tornentose, with a pair of small rhomboidal, ob- 

 tuse leaves at base. Branches of inflorescence and pedicels short and thick. Calyx 

 ob-conical, very tornentose without and within, with a spreading, shallow, 5-toothed limb. 

 Corolla very tornentose, limb spreading, smooth inside, tornentose at the edge.

 Med. Flor. 425 ; C. ovalifolia, Mutis; Humb., Berl. Mag., i. 118. 



Occurs at Loxa, and also in the northern Andes. There is some difficulty 

 as regards this species. Dr. Lindley says he has seen but a few bad speci- 

 mens of it, and that a single fruit in Mr. Lambert's Herbarium appears to 

 approach that of a Cosmibuena, but does not resemble that figured by Vahl, 

 which is very like the capsule of C. magnifolia. That this is not a Cosmi- 

 buena is shown by its valvate corolla and permanent calyx, though it is said 

 in Plantes jEquinoctiales (i. 67), to be the same as C. obtusifolia. Ruiz and 

 Pavon state that it is the Quina blanca or Cinch, ovalifolia of Mutis, but at 

 present the bark is unknown. 



21. C. cava, Pavon. — Young branches very tornentose. Leaves petiolate, oblong, sub- 

 cordate or obtuse at base, obtuse or rounded at tip, rather coriaceous, smooth above ; 

 tornentose beneath. Cyme terminal, compact, trifid, tornentose, shorter than the subjacent
