Excerpt from Notes on the Medicinal Cinchona Barks of New Granada: And on the Cinchona Trees of Huanuco (in Peru) Dr. Karsten, a distinguished German botanist, was in New Granada for several years, and thoroughly examined the cinchona region of that country. His pamphlet, which has now been translated for the use of those who are eu trusted with the cultivation of the cinchona plants in India and Ceylon, contains the results of his observations, es pecially with regard to the most favourable conditions of growth for the formation of quinine in cinchona plants. Many of his observations regarding the cinchonas of New Granada, will equally apply to the species found in other parts of South America.
