This elegant species was discovered in the moss laden woods 

 upon 'one of the few summit peaks of Masay (the Manobo name 

 for mount Urdaneta), at 5750 feet altitude. Its stem is only one

 tree stem from the ground up to 20 feet high or until it 

 reached the lower branches, before it itself terminated into 

 branches without forming nodules. "Matawanuns" in Manobo, 

 Dedicated to Karel Boriwog Presl.

 corolla three times as long and not glabrous. What Loranthus 

 barthei van Tiegh. is I do not know.
