Phoradendrum tucumanense Urban, Bot. Jahrb. vol. 23. Beibl. 57. p. 16. 
1897. 
Not forked, the rather long branches with basal cataphyls only, dioe- 
cious. Internodes moderate (2-4x40-50 mm.), densely stellate-tomentose 
or short-villous like the foliage, compressed and dilated under the nodes 
becoming terete. Cataphyls a single pair, about 5 mm. above the base, 
scarcely tubular. Leaves lanceolate or the lowest elliptical, typically 
acute, 1.5-3x7-9 em., cuneately rather slender-petioled for 15-20 mm. 
Spikes often clustered, moderate (25-35, becoming 50 mm. in fruit), 
tomentose, with about З rather stout joints some 18-flowered in 4+2 ser- 
ies when pistillate and as much as 50-flowered in 6 series when staminate : 
peduncle 2 mm. long, often followed by a somewhat longer sterile joint: 
scales deeply parted. Fruit subglobose, dark red, 3 mm. in diameter, 
retrorsely hairy: sepals nearly glabrous, suberectly parted.—Plates 187,

Phoradendrum Kuntzei Urban, Bot. Jahrb. vol. 23. Beibl. 57. p. 11. 1897. 
Not forked, the moderate branches with basal eataphyls only, dioe- 
cious. Internodes moderate (2x30 mm. or more), densely yellow-tomen- 
tose like the foliage, somewhat compressed under the nodes beeoming te- 
rete. Cataphyls a single nearly basal pair. Leaves (on the young growth) 
short-oblong, scarcely 2x5 mm., sessile, eadueous. Spikes mostly elus- 
tered, rather long (40 mm.), tomentose, with about 3 oblong or elavate 
joints some 30-flowered when pistillate and 60-flowered when staminate
