EASTERN COAST OF THE MALAY PENINSULA. 343 
ultra dimidium uno latere fisso, extus omnino lanugine aurantiaca (sicca ferruginea) 
tecta, intus glabra. Stamina 5, laciniis subsquilonga, antheris terminalibus 
linearibus acutis. Stylus longior, stigmate subelavato. Васса lageniformis, lanugine 
ferruginea tecta, 2-pollicaris (vix matura). 
Plentiful оп Casuarina equisetifolia, Forst., at Sungei Meang. 
This Loranthus, though common here, I have not seen elsewhere. I am unable to 
match it with any described species. When alive, the whole plant is orange-coloured, due 
chiefly to its orange wool covering the backs of the leaves, shoots, and flowers. When 
dried it is ferruginous. 
LORANTHUS AMPULLACEUS, Roxb. 
Kalambalai, near Pekan; also on Pulau Kattam, in Tringganu River. On Ana- 
cardium occidentale, Linn. 
This is nearly as injurious a plant as L. ferrugineus, but not quite so common. It is 
parasitic on a great number of trees, among which I have noticed Morinda citrifolia, 
Anacardium occidentale, and a species of Eugenia. 
L. GRANDIFRONS, King. 
Tulomalaty; Kwala Berar; Kwala Tembeling. 
A very handsome species, with large pink flowers, tipped with green. It is parasitic 
on Vitex vestita, «ос. 
VISCUM ARTICULATUM, Burm. f. 
Pekan. 
A common plant, parasitic on Loranthi, especially L. ampullaceus, Roxb. The 
common form is V. articulatum, var. genuinum—the form with narrow flattened branches. 
The internodes are flattened alternately, i. e. the one flattened in one plane is followed 
by the next at right angles to it. The flowers are often in pairs only at the nodes, in a 
line with the flattened axis below them. Male flowers yellow. Berries yellowish, 
transparent, smooth, shiny. Stem often erect. 
У. ORIENTALE, Willd. ; 
Less common. At Pulau Jellam. Usually parasitic on species of Ficus. 
SANTALACEJE. 
Henstow1 LoBBIANA, DC. 
Common on the heath country at Pramau. 
This can be best described as a scandent bush. Growing at first erect among thickets, 
it throws out long branches, which partly scramble over those of the other bushes and 
partly twine round them. It has yellow berries, turning first red, then black. It is 
very common in Malacca.
