About this plant
The bark of Cinchona officinalis contains quinine, the principal antimalarial quinoline alkaloid, which remains on the WHO List of Essential Medicines. Indigenous Quechua peoples called it quina-quina, holy bark. Exported to Europe by Jesuit missionaries in the 1630s. In 1820, Pelletier and Caventou first isolated quinine. By 1825 it was the standard malaria treatment.
