notes:
Now known as Exostema brachycarpum, this plant is native to Jamaica. Cinchona, native to the Andean highlands from Bolivia to Colombia and to parts of Panama and Costa Rica, was named in honor of the countess of Chinchón who, legend says, was cured of a fever in 1638 by a preparation of the bark. There are about 40 species of the tree. The bark is also known as Jesuit's bark and Peruvian bark.Lambert was a British botanist and one of the first members of the Linnaean Society. He is best known for his description of the genus Pinus; the genus Lambertia is named for him. Some of the species of cinchona are described from examples in the herbarium of Sir Joseph Banks. Ferdinand L. Bauer (1760-1826) was an Austrian botanical and zoological artist. The engraver is probably Inigo Barlow (active 1790).Image placed horizontally on page. notes Now known as Exostema brachycarpum, this plant is native to Jamaica.
