Editing Cinchona (section)

==Etymology and common names==
[[Carl Linnaeus]] named the genus in 1742, based on a claim that the plant had cured the wife of the [[Luis Jerónimo de Cabrera, 4th Count of Chinchón|Count of Chinchón]], a Spanish viceroy in [[Lima]], in the 1630s, though the veracity of this story has been disputed. Linnaeus used the Italian spelling ''Cinchona'', but the name Chinchón (pronounced {{IPA|es|tʃinˈtʃon|}} in Spanish) led to [[Clements Markham]] and others proposing a correction of the spelling to ''Chinchona'', and some prefer the pronunciation {{IPAc-en|tʃ|ɪ|n|ˈ|tʃ|oʊ|n|ə}} for the common name of the plant. [[Traditional medicine]] uses from South America known as '''[[Jesuit's bark]]''' and '''Jesuit's powder''' have been traced to ''Cinchona''.{{citation needed|date=April 2021}}
