单词 cinchona
释义

cinchonan.

Brit. /sɪŋˈkəʊnə/, U.S. /sɪŋˈkoʊnə/
Forms: Also chinchona.
Etymology: Named in 1742 by Linnæus in honour of the Countess of Chinchon (in Spain), who in 1638, when vice-queen of Peru, was cured of a tertian fever by the use of Peruvian bark, and in 1640 brought a supply of it to Spain, whence it became known throughout Europe. On the ground that Linnæus's form Cinchona was due to erroneous information, it has been proposed to alter it to Chinchona ; but the accepted form is too deeply rooted in botanical and chemical nomenclature to make this expedient. The word has no etymological connection with quina , which is Peruvian for ‘bark’: see however quina n.
1. A genus of evergreen trees or shrubs with fragrant white or pink panicled flowers, growing in the tropical valleys of the Andes, and now extensively cultivated in India and Java for the sake of the bark.
