LORANTHUS PENTAPETALUS, Roxb. 
Pekan, Kwala Pahang. 
L. HETERANTHUS, Wall. 
Not rare round Pekan and at Kwala Pahang. Flowers red. 
L. FERRUGINEUS, Roxb. 
Common at Katapong, near Pekan. 
A most noxious plant in Singapore, growing with great rapidity on the trees and 
killing them. It seems to grow on almost any tree. I have seen it on Litsea lanci- 
folia, Tectona grandis, Artocarpus spp., Eugenia macrocarpa, Canarium rufum, Mappa 
javanica, Baccaurea Motleyana, Aporosa nigricans, and Codiewm variegatum. 
L. MALACCENSIS, Hook. f. 
At Pramau and Katapong. 
Flowers brown. Not at all a common plant. 
L. PENTANDRUS, Linn. 
Sungei Meang, on Paritium tiliaceum. Common. 
L. RETUSUS, Jack. 
Parasitic on bushes. At Pekan; also at Tringganu. 
This is a very pretty plant with pink flowers, the free part of the petals bright green, 
tipped with dark pink. Тһе fruit is red, becoming black. І have met with it also in 
Singapore, at Changi, and at Pulau Tekong. It is commonly parasitic on Rhodomyrtus 
tomentosa, and has a curious habit of emitting branches which, running parallel to 
those of its host, put out haustoria just as Г. ampullaceus does. - 
Г. FORMOSUS, Blume. 
Tahan River. 
Flowers crimson-scarlet. 
L. Еоввеѕп, King. 
Not rare іп the Tahan woods ; usually on high trees. 
The curious four-angled involucre of bracts enclosing a number of flowers distinguishes 
cud WANT plant from any others of the native species. Вгасіѕ and flowers are 
scarlet.
