beneath, with 4 to 7 ascendingly curved obscure lateral 
pairs, reticulations also obscure; petiole 5 to 8 mm. long,

low odorless flowers, axillary especially from the terminal 
leaf axils, glabrous; peduncles articulate, 6 to 10 mm. long,

flower subtended by an obscurely 3-lobed cupular bract; 
calyx thick, 7 mm. long, tubularly turbinate, the rim thin, 
brown in the dry state, truncate or obscurely 6-toothed; 
corolla very fleshy, glabrous, yellow except the pair of fine 
red lines along the upper edges of the 6 segments, saccately 
tubular but ultimately becoming free nearly to the base, 
thickest below the middle; segments 4 mm. long, 2 mm. 
wide, rotately spreading, not strongly reflexed; filaments 
also fleshy, adnate clear to the base of the corolla segments, 
only 1 mm. free and erect, of the same color as the corolla;

Type specimen 10804, A. D. E. Elmer, Todaya (Mt. Apo), 
District of Davao, Mindanao, May, 1909. 
Discovered on a species of Grewia in woods of a steep ravine 
along the Baruring river at 2750 feet. Its angular branchlets 
and inflorescence are very distinct from all other Philip- 
pine species. This as all others in this genus the Bagobos 
know as ‘‘Manago.’’ 
Loranthus banahaensis Elm. 
Field-note:—Parasitic on limbs of a large oak tree, in 
dense forests at 4000 feet; clumps well scattered on most 
branches but rather of small size only; stems mostly few, gray- 
ish, nodulose, not rigid, sparingly branched; leaves flat, pale 
green, thin and leathery; inflorescence axillary, bursting 
from a large yellowish green rather thick protecting bract 
or hood-like cover; calyx green, sessile; corolla 0.75 inch long, 
cardinal red throughout, 6-segmented clear to the base, the 
narrow tips strongly reflexed; filaments adnate and similar 
in color; anthers erect, green; style also green, bearing a darker
