ME. D. OLIVER ON THE LORANTHACE X. 99 
Hab. S. America: New Granada, Columbia, Peru, Chili, and 
S. Brazil. 
A few E. or S.E. Australian and Polynesian species I refer 
here for the present, including L. eucalyptoides and L. celastroides. 
These do not consort well with the American species. 
IV. Antherz dorsofixe, immobiles. 
$ 7. Loxanthera, Blume, Fl. Jav. 15. 
This curious mode of attachment of the anther appears confined 
to one or two species of the Indian Archipelago and Malacca. It 
is well figured by Blume, op. cit. t. 23. c. Of the Malacca plant I 
have seen flowers only. 
B. Anthere basifixe v. adnate. 
I. Flores singuli tribracteati (bractea 1, bracteolis 2). 
a. Flores singuli in foveam rhacheos leviter inserti, in spicis axil- 
laribus paucifloris decussatim oppositi, bracteis primum tecti. 
§ 8. Elytranthe, Blume, Fl. Jav. Loranth. 16. 
Petals 5-6, connate below. 
Hab. India. 
b. Flores pedicellati v. sessiles, sepius racemosi aut cymosi, axil- 
lares, interdum in nodis subsessilibus. 
§ 9. Macrosolen, Blume, Fl. Jav. Loranth. 16. 
Petals 5-6, united below, or sometimes free. (Symphyanthus 
§ Anguliflori, DC.) 
Hab. India. 
II. Flores capitulatim congesti, bracteis numerosis imbricatis 
involuerati. Petala 6 coalita. 
$ 10. Lepeostegeres, Blume, Fl. Jav. Loranth. 18. 
A very remarkable and distinct section, so far as inflorescence is 
concerned. In a plant from the Philippines the bracts seem con- 
siderably fewer than in the other species. 
Hab. Borneo, Java, Philippines. 
III. Flores 4-6, congesti, bracteis totidem distinctis v. involucro 
1-phyllo coalitis cincti. 
§ 11. Tolypanthus, Blume, Fl. Jav. Loranth. 18. . 
L. lageniferus, figured by Wight (Ic. 306), is the only species 
I know in which the bracts form a monophyllous involucre. 
Hab. India.
