CINCHONA, QUININE, REDBARK (Cinchona pubescens Vahl) +

Synonym — C. succirubra Pav. ex Klotzsch.


USDA prefers this species be called redbark; and that C. callisaya be called quinine, or yellowbark,
or yellow cinchona, or yellow quinine. Both seem to share many morphological, chemical, and
folkloric attributes. They are probably pretty tough to distinguish when reduced to powdered bark.
Consider the entries below as likely to accrue to one as the other. FEL entries below are sometimes
based on medical uses of quinine at the beginning of the 20th century.
