Note 383 — Chapter XIX
Reading edition
Mr. Cross transmitted the following dried specimens of the parts of chinchona-trees from Loxa:—
1. Very characteristic specimens of the bark, leaves, flowers, and capsules of C. Condaminea (C. Chahuarguera, Pavon). This kind yields the rusty crown bark of commerce.
2. Bark, leaves, and flowers of C. crispa, Tafalla, a kind which is included in the C. Condaminea, H. and B. It yields the quina fina de Loxa, or cascarilla crespilla.
3. Bark and leaves of C. Lucumæfolia of Pavon, from Zamora. This is the cascarilla de hoja de lucma of the natives. Mr. Cross made no attempt to collect the seeds, as this species is comparatively worthless.
