About this plant
The bark of Cinchona succirubra contains quinine and characteristically high cinchonine levels. The red bark species was preferred for colonial transplantation due to its hardiness. Charles Ledger smuggled seeds from Bolivia in the 1860s and sold them to the Dutch government. Those seeds became the foundation of Java's quinine plantations, which at their peak controlled 85-90% of the world's supply.
