ERYTHROXYLON COCA. 
This extremely interesting plant is of great officinal importance in South America, where its 
leaves are largely employed as a masticatory, under the name of Coca. When taken internally it acts 
as a powerful stimulant of the nervous system ; and, when under its influence, persons are able to 
perform long and rapid journeys without exhaustion. “ Four times a day, whatever the nature of his 
occupation — whether employed in the mines, the fields, as a muleteer, or domestic servant, the Indian 
resigns himself to the pleasures of Coca chewing.” Its sustaining powers during long and tiring 
journeys have been lately tested among the Scottish mountains by Sir H. Christison, who found 
advantage from its use. It is a dwarf shnibby growing stove plant, producing little clusters of small 
greenish-white flowers along the branches. 16s. and 1 guinea.
