212 CXXXII. LORANTHACEE. (J. D. Hooker) [Loranthus. 
tube slightly swollen in flower; lobes not l the length of the tube. Filaments 
shorter than the anther. Stigma capitate. Fruit 4 in., turbinately obovate with a 
broad subtruncate top.—Brandis says there is no bract, but small bracteoles at the 
base of the ovary. I think this is a mistake. 
Var. clavigera ; flowers perfectly glabrous. L. clavigerus, Wall. Cat. 6873. 
? L. clavatus, Roxb. Fl. Ind. i. 553, ii. 189, and Ed. Carey & Wall. ii. 210. L. Cory- 
nitis, Spreng. Cur. Post. 140; DC. L c. 317.—Silhet, De Silva & Gomez.—Wallich's 
specimens are the only ones I have seen. 
25. I. elatus, Edgew. in Trans. Linn. Soc. xx. 58; youngest buds 
rusty-pubescent, leaves opposite and alternate large long-petioled broadly 
ovate base rounded or subcordate glabrous, flowers 1-1; in. umbelled 
orfascicled on short axillary peduncles rarely subracemose young hoary, 
corolla-tube narrow curved split, lobes short linear-spathulate, fruit turbinate. 
L. umbellifer, Brand. For. Fl. 397. 
TEMPERATE HIMALAYA, alt. 5-10,000 ft.; from Simla, Royle, Edgeworth, &e., 
to Bhotan, Griffith. 
Very near indeed to L. umbellifer, but the bark is almost black when dry, the * 
leaves much larger, more coriaceous, of a very different shape and long-petioled, the 
calyx broader and more truncate, and the tube of the corolla is much less ‘slender in 
bud; it is further remarkable for the elevation it inhabits. 
*** Leaves tomentose. Fruit ellipsoid. 
96. I. vestitus, Wall. in Roxb. Fl. Ind. Ed. Carey & Wall. ii. 218, and 
Cat. 511; branchlets petioles and leaves beneath clothed with soft appressed 
buff or pale rufous tomentum, leaves opposite petioled oblong or ovate- 
or linear-oblong obtuse glabrous above base acute, flowers }—$ in. in axillary 
sessile or peduncled fascicles pedicelled rufous-villous, ealyx-limb truncate, 
corolla terete, buds with rounded clavate tips, tube split, lobes 4 obtuse, 
fruit ellipsoid at length glabrous. DC. Prodr. iv. 302; Don Prodr. 143; 
Brand. For. Fl. 396; Gamble Man. Ind. Timb. 320. ` 
SUBTROPICAL and WESTERN HIMALAYA, alt. 5-7000 ft., from Garwhal to Nepal. 
Kuasia Mrs., alt. 4-6000 ft., Griffith, J. D. H. & T. T. ` 
A large- shrub (erect on oak trees in the Khasia Mts.); branches stout, terete} 
bark dark, sparsely lenticellate. Leaves 23-4 in., very coriaceons, often bullate, an 
with recurved margins, pale greenish and shining above, nerves faint; petiole 3-4 p^ 
Faicicles of flowers solitary or clustered, usually peduncled; flowers smaller than : 
L. ferrugineus. Corolla-lobes very short, obtuse. Fruit 4-À in. long.—A very 
distinct species, differing in its fruit from the others of this section. 
Sect. V. Dendrophthoe. Flowers in axillary clusters or raceme 
often mealy; bract scale-like; bracteoles 0. Calyx usually produced in 
a toothed tube above the ovary. Corolla long or short, tube often gibbously 
inflated, straight or incurved, usually split at the back, 5- rarely 4-lobed. 
Anthers narrow, cells indistinct. Fruit ovoid or oblong (pyriform 1 
Stocksii). 
* Flowers pubescent tomentose or villous. 
27. L. tomentosus, Heyne in Roth Nov. Sp. 191; branches gat 
leaves beneath rusty-tomentose, leaves all alternate petioled oblong, 
obovate-oblong obtuse penninerved, bract rarely exceeding the 5-too i 
. calyx, flowers 3 in. in axillary sessile or shortly peduncled fascicles pedice lit. 
densely rusty-villous with hispid hairs, corolla curved, tube terete T : 
lobes 5 oblong. L. bracteatus, DC. Prodr. iv. 306, in part. L. tomentosus:
