Yunnan: Szemao, alt. 1600 m., on trees, A. Henry (No. 11604; flowers red). 
This new species resembles Elytranthe albida Blume figured in his Flora Javae, 
III. Lorantheae, t. 22, but it differs: 1° in its larger oblong, not oval leaves, 2° in 
its longer petiole always exceeding 2 cm. in length, 3? in the prominent blade 
separating the two flowers at the base, which becomes narrower toward the apex, 
while in Blume's figure it becomes narrower toward the base, 4? in the flowers 
which are red according to the collector's note and not white, 5? in the calyx which 
bears below its upper margin a slight circular excrescence. This plant cannot be 
confounded with Loranthus leucosiphon Griffith (Notul. IV. 623 [1854]; Icon. Pl. 
Asiat. t. 619, 621, 622, 623, [1854]), which has been referred to E. albida by different 
authors, particularly by Gamble, but which differs markedly in the crest separat- 
ing the flowers.
