Phoradendron Perrottetii Eichler in v. Martius, Fl. Brasil. vol. 5. pt. 2. 
p. 112. 1868. 
Viscum Perrottetii de Candolle, Prodromus. vol. 4. p. 280. 1830. 
Not forked, the rather long branches with basal eataphyls only, andro- 
gynous?. Internodes moderate (2-3x30-90 mm.), nearly smooth, little 
compressed and soon terete. Cataphyls a single pair some 5 mm. above 
the base or occasionally 2 or 3 pairs at short intervals, blunt and spread- 
ing. Leaves faleately or dimidiately elliptical or lance-elliptical, very 
obtuse, 3-4x9-12 em., euneately subpetioled for 5-10 mm. Spikes more or 
less elustered, long (30-50, becoming 100-130 mm.), with about 5 moder- 
ately thickened oblong joints some 18- to 30- or 40-flowered in 44-2 or 6 
series: peduncle scarcely 5 mm. long, usually followed by a nearly or 
quite sterile joint. Fruit said to be whitish, subglobose, minutely cellu- 
lar-papillate, 3-4 mm. in diameter : sepals closely inflexed.— Plate 119. 
Cayenne region.—The type from Cayenne. 
Specimens examined :—FRENCH GUIANA (Perrottet, 228, 1820,—the 
type of V. Perrottetii; Sagot, 1291; Gabriel, 1802; Martin; Leprieur, 97, 
194, 195, 1835, 1839). British Guiana (Jenman, 2247, 22542, 3795, 
4821). 
Though the binomial of this species under Phoradendron must be as- 
eribed to Eiehler, the Brazilian material referred here by him is rather 
of P. bathyoryctum, neither species appearing to eross the Amazon valley.

2. p. 123. pl. 43. 1868. 
More or less pseudodiehotomous, the rather long branches with basal 
eataphyls only, androgynous?. Internodes rather long (2-5x60-100 mm.), 
cellular-papillate, the upper more or less rhombically ancipital and en- 
larged at the nodes. Cataphyls a single nearly basal pair, spreading. 
Leaves more or less obliquely elliptieal to oblong, very obtuse, 2x6 to 
mostly 4-7x10-15 em., euneately subpetioled for 5-10 mm. Spikes more 
or less clustered, long (becoming 80-90 mm.), with about 4 thick oblong 
joints turbinately some 30-flowered in 4 or 4--2 or exceptionally 6 series: 
peduncle 5 mm. long, sometimes with a pair of basal seales. Fruit sub- 
globose, minutely cellular-papillate, 3-4 mm. in diameter: sepals closely 
inflexed.— Plate 120. 
Brazilian region, on Ficus, Odena, ete.—The type from Piauhy. 
Specimens examined :—BraziL. Piauhy (Gardner, 2626,—taken as 
type, 2618, 2621; 3763—the type of P. Perrottetii var. parvifolia Eichler, 
Г. c. p. 113, 1868). Ceara (Gardner, 1680). [Goyaz?] (Gardner, 3762.
