470 LEAFLETS oF PAILIPPINE BOTANY [Vor. II, Art 24 
Leaves opposite, from the swollen nodes, scattered along the 
twigs, very coriaceous, readily breaking, flat, glabrous, much 
paler green beneath, sessile, becoming detached, ovately lan- 
ceolate or oblongish, unequal in size, the normal ones 15 
em. long, 5 em. wide below the base, perceptibly inequila- 
teral, the upper portion gradually tapering into the acute or 
acuminate bluntly pointed apex, base obtuse or broadly rounded 
and occasionally suboblique; nerves obscure, the 3 to 5 lat-

clusters; calyx glabrous, the basal one half tubular, the truncate 
brown rim 1.5 mm.high, ultimately 2 to 3-parted; corolla slight- 
ly curved, tubular but soon splitting below the middle and at 
the apex, at least 2 em. long, thicker and red below the 
middle; the 5 segments ligulate, thick, glabrous on both sides, 
1l-nerved, apex acute, yellowish above the middle; stamens 
opposite the corolla segments, not exerted, yellow; filaments 
3 to 4 mm. long, glabrous, flattened, attached to the inner

Type specimen 9525, A. D. E. Elmer, Dumaguete, Cuer- 
nos Mountains, Province of Negros Oriental, Negros, March, 
1908. 
This Loranthus was collected upon small trees in damp 
woods at 3500 feet. 
From L. cauliflorus Merr. it is distinguished by its much 
smaller leaves and axillary inflorescence. Our specimen has 
the leaves of L. mirabilis Van Huerck and Muell. Arg. (L. 
cumingianus (Van Tiegh.) Engl), but the flowers are not 5- 
merous nor pedicellate, and the inflorescence not cauline. 
Loranthus bicoloratus Elm. n. sp. 
A rigid busy parasite; stems yellowish gray, the twigs 
smooth, the larger stems roughly lenticelled, sparingly re- 
branched. Leaves dull green above, paler green beneath, thickly
