originally sourced from the kola nut,"

実は含まれていないのが一般的であり"
  Comments:
I can't find any evidence for sense 3 on google, and I've personally never heard/seen this usage. Did they post any actual examples on the 
honyaku list?

  Comments:
Long Honyaku discussion, mainly about the generic (sense 3) use of コーラ as a term for soft drinks. "Cola" doesn't seem to be used that way in BrE, but it seems in parts of the US "cola" can be a generic term.
Approving temporarily for an xref.
