Phoradendron Appuni n. sp. 
Seareely forked, the moderate branches with basal eataphyls only, 
androgynous. Internodes rather short (2-3x15-30 mm.), smooth, some-

base, short, white-margined. Leaves narrowly laneeolate, more or less 
mueronately obtuse to acute, scarcely 1x2.5-5.5 cm., euneately subses- 
sile. Spikes mostly solitary, short (15 mm.), with about 3 slender joints
