AEQUATORIALES—AMPLECTENTES 71 
Phoradendron Casimiranum n. sp. 
Somewhat pseudodichotomous, the rather long branches with basal 
eataphyls only, dioecious?. Internodes moderate (3-4x50-70 mm.), the 
upper flattened and somewhat wing-margined. Cataphyls a single basal 
pair or 2 approximated pairs, somewhat tubular. Leaves subspatulately 
oblanceolate, very obtuse or somewhat emarginate, 2x8 em., exceptionally 
obovate and as much as 5 em. wide, finely 5- or 7-nerved, revolutely at- 
tenuate for nearly 10 mm., scarcely elasping. Spikes solitary, long (at 
length 80 or 90 mm.), with 6-8 rather slender joints turbinately about 40- 
flowered in 6 series: peduncle scarcely 2 mm. long, sometimes with a 
second pair of scales: scales acutely spreading, scarcely ciliate. Fruit 
(immature) globose, smooth, 3 mm. in diameter: sepals closely inflexed.—

Brazilian region (? exclusively) on other mistletoes.—The type from 
Paraguay. 
Specimens examined:—Paracuay. Peribebui (Balansa, 3220,—the 
type in the herbarium of M. Casimir de Candolle). Paraguari (? Bal-

p. 109. 1868. 
More or less pseudodichotomous, the rather long branches with basal 
eataphyls only, androgynous?. Internodes moderate (2-6x30-75 mm.), 
the upper broadly 2-winged. Cataphyls a single nearly basal pair or a 
second pair 5-10 mm. higher. Leaves elliptical to oblanceolate-oblong, 
submueronately very obtuse, 1-2.5x3-10 cm., rather distinctly 3- to 5- 
nerved, gradually revolutely narrowed to the somewhat clasping base 
rather than petioled. Spikes often clustered, long (40, lengthening to 80 
mm. or more in fruit), with half a dozen rather slender oblong joints as 
much ав 30-flowered in 6 series: peduncle 5 mm. long: scales evanescently 
eiliolate. Fruit (immature) brownish, globose, 3 mm. in diameter, very 
slightly granular: sepals inflexed.—Plate 89. 
Brazilian region.—The type from Ceara. 
Specimens examined:—BrazıL. Ceara (Gardner, 1672,—the type).
