MR. D. OLIVER ON THE LORANTHACE.F. 101 
4-merous. In one species, L. bracteatus, F. M., the flowers are 
enclosed in a pair of opposite foliaceous bracts. 
Hab. Australia, New Zealand, Polynesia. 
VII. Flores racemosi v. spicati, raro in nodos fasciculati, 1-brac- 
teolati vel in foveam rhacheos leviter inserti, bractea plus 
minus obsoleta. Petalalibera. (Loranthus, Mart. Reg. Flora, 
1830, 102; Blume, Fl. Jav. Loranth. 12, in part. | .Euloran- 
thus, Endl. Gen. Pl. 801, in part. Phanicanthemum, Blume, 
op. cit. 13. Lanthorus ?, Presl, Epim. Bot. 256.) 
a. Flores dioici, spicati.

Loranthus europeus is the only species which I can refer here. 
b. Flores hermaphroditi. (uloranthus § Breviflori, DC.) 
$ 18. 
This group may be artificially divided either by the symmetry of 
the flowers, or the inflorescence, whether racemose or spicate. In 
L. odoratus, Wall., very near L. europeus, they are partially im- 
mersed in the rachis. The petals are often dilated at the base 
(Euloranthus § Unguiculati, DC.), but I am not able to base a 
section upon this chdracter. 
Hab. India and the Archipelago ; and two new African species 
(tetramerous) from the Island of St. Thomas and E. Tropical 
Africa, which I describe. 
Lorantuus MaNNr, sp. nov. Cortice glabro punctato, foliis oppo- 
sitis suboppositisve lanceolatis vix acuminatis apice obtusiusculis 
eveniis glabris petiolatis, floribus tetrameris racemosis, pedicellis caly- 
cem zquantibus, bracteis minutis, racemis axillaribus. 
Hab. St. Thomas, alt. 5000 feet. Coll. G. Mann. 
The linear anthers are adnate, two-celled, and each cell multi- 
locellate, as in several other African species.
