| Notes: | Label source: Pharm Journ April 1.1882 p.801. ' For some time past the Red Cinchona bark of the Jamaica plantations has been remarkable for the high price it obtains in the market, this is due to the fact that there is in cultivation in that island appa, rently to a greater extent than in Ceylon. The tree which is considered by Mr Howard to yield the typical red bark of Ruiz and Pavon. The bark of this tree is thick and resinous and externally is much less marked with warts than the Ceylon bark. Indeed th, e quills might easily be mistaken for those of Calisaya bark by an ordinary observer.' | ||||
