two species in the Philippines. Viscwm orientale Willd. is widely 
distributed in the Philippines at low and medium altitudes, 
growing as a parasite on various trees. 
Illustrative specimen from Antipolo, Rizal Province, Luzon, 
March, 1915 (Merrill: Species Blancoanae No. 883).

ARTICULATUM Burm. f. 
In this reduction I follow Fernandez-Villar as Llanos’s 
description is apparently, in part, that of a form of Visewm 
articulatum Burm. f.; see Viscum orientale Willd. above. The 
species is of local occurrence in the Philippines, ascending to an 
altitude of at least 800 meters, and is widely distributed in the 
Archipelago.

Province, Luzon, January, 1915 (Merrill: Species Blancoanae 
No. 792). 
Viscum capense Llanos Frag. Pl. Filip. (1851) 53; F.-Vill. & Naves in 
’ Blaneo FI. Filip. ed. 8, 4* (1880) 38, non Linn. f.=VISCUM ANGU- 
LATUM. Heyne. 
This is also Fernandez-Villar’s reduction of Lianoa’ S$ species. 
It may prove to be merely a form of Viscum articulatum Burm. 
f. with very narrow branchlets. This form is rare in the Phil- 
ippines and has only been found in two or three localities. 
Illustrative specimen from Calumpit, Bulacan Province, Luzon,

This species is common and widely distributed at low altitudes 
in the Philippines, and presents considerable variation. Malu- 
lucban, as described by Blanco, was not intended as a generic 
name, but merely the native name of a plant that he could not 
refer to its proper genus. Govantesia malulucban Llanos, pub- 
lished as a new genus and species, is manifestly Champereia 
manillana Merr. This genus and species has been overlooked 
by all later authors except Fernandez-Villar; it does not appear 
in Index Kewensis, in Engler & Prantl’s Natiirlichen Pflanzen- —
