Obs. This shrub comes exceedingly near R. resinosum, Pursh. 

 flor. amer. i. 163 ; Sims's Bot. Mag. xxxviii. 15fcJ3 ; and may per-

 any thing like the large stipules, represented and recorded in the last 

 quotation, the leaves of which appear less lounded and obtuse, than 

 those of my plant. — I have not seen the flowers. — JH. W.

This is one of the most common as well as noble productions of 

 Nipal, where it grows to a majestic size and extent over trees and 

 rocks. I have met with it from Bheempedi and Cheesapanee, to the
