It is very probable that Viscum moniliforme BLUME Fl. Jav. Lor. t. 25 is 

 referable to this Pseudixus or Bifaria, as is seen from the ciliate or pectinate 

 bracts and clustered female flowers. HOOKER is not justified to treat both 

 Viscum moniliforme BLUME and Viscum apliyllum GRIFF. (Ic. PI. As. t. 630) 

 as referable to V. articulatum BURM. The former two are certainly totally 

 different each other V. apliyllum has no ciliate bracts, while V. moniliforme. 

 has ciliate bracts but no involucre like that of the former. It should be granted 

 that V. apliyllum GRIFF, is referable to V. articulatum BURM. on account of 

 the involucrum, while V. moniliforme should be a species closely allied to or 

 identical with V. japonicum THUNB. Viscum articulatum BENTH. (Fl. Hongk. p. 

 141) is quite different from Pseudixus japonicus. The former has the females 

 " scarcely ^ line long, nearly globular, and half-buried in the cup-shaped entire 

 bract," while the latter has the flowers quite free from ciliiformed bracts.
