I have alluded to this plant (see page 252), which Dr. Eichler considers 
nearly identical ■with Cocculus Carolinus, from which, as shown by his floral 
analysis, it diflers in having only 6 (not 9) sepals, in its petals being lobed in the 
middle (not auriculate at the base), and in having 9 (not 6) stamens. In 
other respects it accords with Menispermum Canaclense, which has also lobated 
leaves ; but they are quite glabrous, while here they are pubescent beneath. 
Dr. Eichler does not say whether the leaves are palate or subpeltate, probably 
the latter, from being quintuplinerved. He states that the plant is from Peru ; 
but it is more likely from Mexico, whence Pavon’s distributed specimens were 
nearly aU derived, and which are generally assumed to be of Peruvian origin, 
because no localities are ever given.

The peculiar appearance of this plant little accords with the usual habit of 
the Menispermacem, and might induce a suspicion that it belongs to EupTior- 
biacece, as it bears some resemblance to Phyllanthus glaucescens, from Mexico 
(DC. Prodr. xv. p. 374), which agrees with it in its large leaves and its 
spreading axillary inflorescence, the ultimate branchlets of which bear numer- 
ous spicated minute flowers, each having 6 sepals and 6 small scales around 
the base of its 3 monadelphous stamens. There exist, however, several 
essential differences between them. In Kunth’s plant the flowers are de- 
cidedly monoecious ; the 6 scales, considered a divided disk, are alternate 
with the segments of the calyx ; and the 2-ceUed anthers are distinct, ■with 
longitudinal dehiscence. On the other hand, in Clambus, the male inflorescence 
is not accompanied by female flowers ; the 6 scales, which I consider to be 
petals, are not alternate but opposite to as many distinct sepals ; and the three
