Nota. Cocculus enneandra Eichl. fortasse mcxicana (non peruviana), quae ex auetore 

 cl. in Fl. brasil. XIII. 1, 184 »omnibus notis cum Cocculo carolino DC. eum in modum con- 

 venit, ut, floribus neglectis, utramque stirpem distinguere nequeas«, stamina 9 minime »con- 

 stanter« praebet , sed saepissime numerum normalem (6) ostendit; itaque speeifice separari 

 non potest.
