1076 LEAFLETS OF PHILIPPINE BoTANY [Vor. III, Art. 57 
green capitate stigma; mature fruits not seen. ‘‘Manago’’ is 
its Bagobo name. 
Represented by number 10479, Elmer, Todaya (Mt. Apo), 
Mindanao, May, 1909. 
Not typical, and was collected on Quercus pruinosa Blm, 
It is a question whether our species can be classed under 
the section Lepiostegeres, since the young inflorescence is sub- 
tended and surrounded by a single rather thick cone-like 
covering which bursts from the apex into irregular parts and 
usually falls off entirely before anthesis. This involucral 
covering is morphologically different from the numerouly 
imbricated true bracts. Possibly our species should form a 
new section. 
Loranthus congestiflorus Merr.

feet of mount Calelan; stems comparatively few and sparingly 
rebranched, less than 0.5 inch thick, green, nodulose, 1 to 
3 feet long; branches widely spreading, the ultimate ones 
subpendulous; leaves flat, thickly coriaceous, not rigid, olive 
green above, paler beneath; buds greenish yellow, 2 inches 
long, ellipsoid, strongly covered with imbricate scales; the 
involucral bracts turning yellow, deciduous, thick, spoon-shaped, 
with thin edges; odorless flowers crowded, greenish to yellow 
and utimately the lemon colored segments strongly reflexed; 
the inner base of the corolla and style dark crimson red, other- 
wise the style is of the same yellow color; stigma green.

Represented by number 10634, Elmer, Todaya (Mt. Apo), 
Mindanao, May, 1909. 
This species was frequently observed in the mossy 
forests of mount Apo. It is a very fine distinct species with its 
greenish yellow flowers and has an entirely different invo- 
luere than L. banahaensis Elm. The type is Forestry Bureau 
number 5037 from the province of Benguet, Luzon. |
