The bark of Buena magnifolia Wedd., a tree with fragrant flowers and magnificent foliage, figured in Howard’s “Nueva Quinologia of Pavon” as Cinchona magnifolia. Its bark is destitute of alkaloids; it also used to appear occasionally in the London market since about the year 1820.—See also our article on Cortex Cascarillæ.
