The medicine quinine is taken from the cinchona tree grown in Jamaica. The value of quinine in the treatment of malaria fever was known to the Indians of Peru and other American countries from earlier times. It was noticed by the Europeans in 1638 when it cured the Countess Cinchon. The plant was then named in her honour.
