We have received specimens of this plant from various 
quarters under the name of Prunus Puddum and Cocculus 
laurifolius, neither of which would have been applied to 
it if seen in blossom. Professor Hooker, to whom t e 
flowers only were known, has referred it to Pachysan ra, 
with some hesitation; and Dr. Wallich has more recently 
transmitted specimens to Europe under the name ot n- 
cera? nepalensis. Having fortunately had an opportunity 
of examining in the Herbarium of the Horticultural ft ociety
