Identifying a plant??

[gil420]

My ex-roommate left a half dead plant when he moved out and I want to do my best revive it. It's been inside the house but since it's not doing well I want to figure out if it really belongs indoors. I'm trying to identify it but I'm not having any luck. The leaves are about 4-5" long, normally shaped and are for the most part green but they have yellow bloches all over them. Is there a site that can help me out?

Hi. :D
I am sure you would like it to survive!
It probably needs re-potted with some fresh potting soil and a little Miracle Grow plant food.

Here is a website that might give you the answer of what the plant is:

If that doesn't show the plant's picture, you could take it to a green house for identification.

Sounds like an Aucuba japonica 'Gold Dust'. I think they are hardy to zone 7, but you could do a google search. Here's a site with some info.
