second pair, scarcely tubular. Leaves elliptical, obtuse or emarginate, 
2-2.5x5-6 em., narrowly revolute, euneately subpetioled for about 5 mm. 
Spikes often clustered, moderate (15, lengthening in fruit to 40 mm.), 
with 3 or 4 slender joints scarcely 10-flowered іп 44-2 series: peduncle 
scarcely 3 mm. long, sometimes with a second basal pair of scarcely ciliate 
scales. Fruit red, globose, 4 mm. in diameter, cellular-papillate and 
obscurely somewhat low-granular: sepals closely inflexed.—Plate 122. 
Brazilian region.—The type from Brazil. 
Specimens examined :—BraziL. Without locality (Sello, 5847 ),—the 
type). 
Phoradendron holoxanthum corallispicum n. var. 
Leaves narrow and more lanceolate, rather acute, 1-1.5x5x7 em. Spikes

More or less pseudodichotomous, the moderate branches with basal 
eataphyls only, androgynous?. Internodes rather short (2-3x20-50 mm.), 
smooth and glossy, the upper somewhat compressed. Cataphyls a single 
nearly basal bifid pair or 2-4 pairs at short intervals. Leaves linear- 
lanceolate to spatulate-oblong, obtuse, 1-2x8-10 em., slightly revolute, 
gradually subpetioled. Spikes mostly solitary, rather short (20 mm.), 
with about 4 slender joints some 10- to 20-flowered in 44-2 series: pedun- 
cle 3 mm. long, sometimes with 1 or 2 large pairs of slightly ciliolate 
seales. Fruit (immature) subglobose, 3 mm. in diameter, smooth : sepals 
closely inflexed.—Plate 123. 
Brazilian region.—The type from the Organ Mountains. 
Specimens examined :—BraAzıL. Organ Mts. at 4000 ft. (Gardner, 
436,—the type of V. nitidum). Minas Geraes (Lindberg, 253a). From 
its 18-flowered spike-joints, may also be referred here a specimen from 
Rio de Janeiro (Glaziou, 4013) otherwise very suggestive of P. Selloi.
