Your answer is Cinhona.

Quinine, as a component of the bark of cinchona ( quina- quina) tree , was used to treat malaria from as early as 1600 s , when it was referred to as Jesuits bark , Cardinal's bark or sacred bark. These names stem out from it's use in 1630 by Jesuit missionaries in South Africa.

Quinine is extracted from the Cinchona tree that is native to the Andean regions of South America.

Quinine was first isolated in 1820 from the bark of a cinchona tree, which is native to Peru. Bark extracts had been used to treat malaria since at least 1632 and it was introduced to Spain as early as 1636 by Jesuit missionaries from the New World.
