1855 T. G. Bradford Murray's Encycl. Geogr. (rev. ed.) III. v. v. 251 The Quinine Trees rise to 1487 toises above the level of the sea. The hardiest species are Cinchona lancifolia and C. cordifolia.

1910 Bull. Amer. Geogr. Soc. 42 664 The temperature is usually below 20°C. and this is the region in which the Cinchona (quinine tree) thrives best.

1943 Troy (N.Y.) Record 14 Oct. 16/6 It usually requires 10 years to raise a cinchona or quinine tree to the point where its bark is ideally suited for quinine extraction.

1969 T. H. Everett Living Trees of World 303/1 The species of Cinchona are somewhat confused... Quinine trees are evergreens of medium size with large opposite leaves.

2004 G. Prance & M. Nesbitt Cultural Hist. Plants 233 Cinchona, the quinine tree, raises a series of fascinating questions about indigenous plant use and drug development.

2. Australian. Any of several Australian trees suggesting the presence of quinine by the bitterness of their bark, leaves, fruit, etc., esp. those of the genus Petalostigma (family Euphorbiaceae), which have bitter fruits, and the bitter bark, Alstonia constricta (family Apocynaceae).

1912 Emu 12 80 Noticed that the native quinine trees (Alstonia constricta..) grew to a good size.

1944 J. Devanny By Tropic Sea & Jungle 173 A few yards from my camp door a big quinine-tree was literally loaded with hard yellow berries.

2005 Gold Coast Bull. (Nexis) 30 Apr. 33 The glass tool..had been used by Aborigines to process the toxic quinine tree and cycad plant so they could be eaten.

3. South African. Any of several southern African trees of the family Apocynaceae; esp. Rauvolfia caffra, the bark of which is used in traditional medicine for its supposed quinine-like properties.
