Scope	Nominated as the most valued image on Commons within the scope: Cinchona officinalis (Quinine bark), Bark
Used in	Global usage
Reason	The Quinine bark was formerly the most renowned remedy in treating malaria. Also homeopathy is based on the quinine test of Hahnemann. -- Llez (talk)
Review (criteria)	Support OK to me. This useful image is the most valuable for the scope IMO. No geocode needed, it's a studio shot. Is the remedy called "Jesuit's bark or Peruvian bark"? --Myrabella (talk) 08:30, 19 June 2010 (UTC)  Info However I've read in fr:Cinchona that Cinchona officinalis, according to Andersson's revision of classification, contains not much quinine and has only an historical role now. --Myrabella (talk) 09:19, 19 June 2010 (UTC)  Comment Yes, it's the Peruvian bark. Today it is replaced by other remedies, but it's of historical interest --Llez (talk) 09:24, 19 June 2010 (UTC) Result: 1 support, 0 oppose => promoted.
