| Wild quinine was once used to treat
fever, and therefore borrows its name from the quinine used to
treat related ailments like malaria. The original quinine comes
from the bark of the cinchona tree found in South America. This
plant is also known as "Feverfew." |
Consult mail order outlets if you would like to grow this
