46 THE GENUS PHORADENDRON 
Phoradendron Galeottii n. sp. 
Not forked, the rather short and slender branches without cataphyls, 
dioecious?. Internodes rather short (2-3x15-50 mm.), at first much com- 
pressed, resinous-dotted, evanescently stellate-tomentose like the foliage. 
Leaves oblanceolate-oblong, mostly obtuse, .5-1x2-5 em., gradually nar- 
rowed for about 5 mm. at base. Spikes mostly solitary, short (scarcely 
15 mm. in fruit), short-tomentose, with about 3 subglobose joints some 
12- to 18-flowered when pistillate: peduncle scarcely 2 mm. long: scales 
finely tomentose. Fruit in congested whorls, round-ovoid, about 4 mm. 
long, retrorsely yellow-hispid : sepals finely tomentose, closely inflexed.—

tieal-oblong, obtuse, .5-.8x2-3.5 em., euneate for about 2 mm. but scarcely 
petioled. Spikes slender, solitary, short (5 mm., lengthening to 10-20 
mm. in fruit), loosely villous, with about 3 subglobose joints about 8-flow- 
ered when pistillate: peduncle 1-5 or 6 mm. long: scales villous. Fruit 
ovoid, 4 mm. long, sparsely villous: sepals glabrescent, more or less 
parted.—Plate 47.

Phoradendron Eduardi n. sp. 
Not forked, the rather short stout branches without cataphyls, dioe-
