The first notice we trace of this plant isin the works of 
Cavanilles, where it founds a genus, by the title of Bon- 
PLANDIA, given‘ in honour of the associate and coadjutor of 
Monsieur de Humboldt. But in a tract in the Transactions 
of the Berlin Academy for 1802, Professor Willdenow has 
attributed the same title to-a genus instituted from the tree 
which affords the drug called “ Angostura Bark,” and
