cinchona

''Cinchona'' is a genus of flowering plants in the family Rubiaceae containing at least 23 species of trees and shrubs.〔(''Cinchona''. ) Selected Rubiaceae Tribes and Genera. Tropicos. Missouri Botanical Garden.〕 They are native to the tropical Andean forests of western South America. A few species are reportedly naturalized in Central America, Jamaica, French Polynesia, Sulawesi, Saint Helena in the South Atlantic, and São Tome & Principe off the coast of tropical Africa. A few species are used as medicinal plants, known as sources for quinine and other compounds.
Linnaeus named the genus in 1742 after the Second Countess of Chinchón, the wife of a viceroy of Peru. According to some accounts, she suffered from malaria and was cured by a botanical remedy made up of the powdered bark of a native tree. The veracity of the story is uncertain, but the tree still carries her name.〔
The National Tree of Peru is in the genus ''Cinchona''.
==Description==
