	Cinchona - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The name of the genus is due to Linnaeus, who named the tree in 1742 after a Countess of Chinchon, the wife of a viceroy of Peru, who, in 1638, was introduced by natives to the medicinal properties of the bark.
		The legend says that the first European ever to be cured from malaria fever was the wife of the Spanish Viceroy, the countess of Chinchon.
		The court physican was summoned and urged to save the countess from the wave of fever and chill which was proving fatal for her.

		The Countess was the daughter of the Infante Luis Antonio de Borbón, brother of Charles III.
		The Countess is depicted seated in an armchair with her hands folded, wearing a ring with a miniature of a man wearing the emblem of the Order of Charles III, possibly her husband Godoy.
		Goya's approach to this exceptionally beautiful court portrait is one of enormous sensibility, and he admirably conveys the timid expression and delicate character of the sitter, undoubtedly the result of the personal affection that he felt for her, having known her since her childhood.

		The stunning dress, of a still Tiepolesque lightness, stands out against a timeless, unidentified background; but what really strikes us in this portrait is the totally unidealized face, and the closed, melancholy, uncomprehending expression which verges on idiocy.
		This is María Teresa de Vallabriga y Borbon, Countess of Chinchón, the daughter of Don Luis de Borbon and María Teresa de Vallabriga, and wife of Manuel Godoy, the favourite of Queen María Luisa.

		During the 1600s, Spanish Jesuits in Lima, Peru learned that bark extracts from a local tree in the coffee family (Rubiaceae) called "quina" (Cinchona officinalis) could cure malaria.
		[Later it was discovered that this "extract" contained the quinoline alkaloid called quinine.] They successfully used this extract on Countess Chinchon.
		According to O. Tippo and W.L. Stern (Humanistic Botany, 1977), the genus was named by Linnaeus in honor of the countess, but spelled it Cinchona rather than "Chinchona.".
