lar or 4-winged. Cataphyls a single pair toward the base, spreading. 
Leaves narrowly obovate to elliptieal-oblong, more or less mueronately 
very obtuse, 1-1.5x3.5-5 or 6 em., euneately subpetioled for scarcely 3 mm. 
Spikes more or less clustered, moderate (30-40 mm.), with 3-5 slender 
elongated joints rather turbinately some 12- to even 26-flowered in 4 or 
4--2 series: peduncle 2-3 or rarely 5 mm. long, sometimes followed by a 
sterile joint. Fruit white, subglobose, cellular-papillate, 3 mm. in diam- 
eter: sepals closely inflexed.— Plates 154, 155. 
Andean region.— The type from Colombia. 
Specimens examined :—CoLoMBIA, (Bonpland, 1795 on Guazuma,— 
the type of L. quadrangularis). Without loeality (Holton, 656). Еста- 
DOR. Quito (Haenke,—the type of V. salicifolium). Guayaz (Sodiro, Aug. 
23, 1872). Bodega (Sodiro, Sept. 3, 1872). Hacienda El Reereo, Man- 
abi (Eggers, 14829). 
As in the case of P. rubrum, the authors of the binomial here used 
had in mind a different species from the one to which it is now applied, 
but their intention to transfer Loranthus quadrangularis HBK. into 
Phoradendron is unmistakable. The Colombian type differs from the 
Eeuadoran salicifolium in having more rhombic internodes.

More or less pseudodichotomous, the rather long branches with basal 
eataphyls only, androgynous. Internodes rather short (2-3x30-50 mm.), 
nearly smooth, acutely quadrangular. Cataphyls a single nearly basal

subpetioled for over 5 mm. Spikes more or less clustered, moderate
