==History== The ancient Incas, in what is now Peru, knew that the bark of a tree had miraculous property of curing Malaria. Carl Linnaeus established the botanical genus of Cinchona in 1742. Dr. Thomas Anderson, Superintendent of Royal Botanical Garden at Calcutta, started his experimental trial for cultivation of Cinchona in the Darjeeling Hills and in 1862 selected the Mungpoo hills for commercial cultivation. After successful establishment of Cinchona plantations at Mungpoo, it was extended to Munsong, Rongo, Latpanchar and Ambotia.
