| Notes: | Note source: No photograph Opuscular source: Letter from Howard & Sons dated 3 November 1904, The analyses of the thin fine cinchona bark with characteristic jutting warts is as follows - Quinine alkaloid 5.14% ; Cinchonidae .24% ; Cinchonine .34% ; Qui, nid? .16% ; Amorphous .56% 6.44%. I have seen similar bark from time to time sent from South America, it has been consigned as Calisaya and the above analyses is very characteristic of this finest Calisaya of the ledgeriana type. It has come in small par, cels of a few bales each and therefore presumely comes either from separate districts or at least from separate groups of trees Signed David Howard.
