notes:
Cinchona is native to South America and was named by Linnaeus after the Countess of Chinchon in 1742. Its bark was used in the treatment of malaria. Its usefulness in the treatment of fevers was known by native Americans and is noted here in the text.Authorship according to British Museum (Natural History): This is based on Verzascha's edition of Pier Andrea Mattioli's "De Plantis Epitome utilissima..." from Verona, 1586, but so much altered and extended as practically to constitute a new work. Illustrated with about 1200 annotated woodcuts in the text by Gesner/ Camerarius (Iochino Camerario) originally used by Mattioli. Gesner had been preparing material for a massive historia plantarum but died before finishing the task. Camerarius acquired the material, utilized the woodcuts and supplemented them with his own designs. The woodcuts are remarkable in their scientific detail especially in the enlarged depictions of floral structure, seeds, and fruit. First appearing in 1586, these woodcuts became a convention in scientific botanical illustration. Zwinger was professor of physics and botany at Basel. notes Cinchona is native to South America and was named by Linnaeus after the Countess of Chinchon in 1742.
