Phoradendron hexastichum Eichler in v. Martius, Fl. Brasil. vol. 5. pt. 2. 
p.129. pl. 43. 1868,—as to Brazil. 
Somewhat pseudodichotomous, the long branches with basal cataphyls 
only, androgynous. Internodes moderate (2-4x40-160 mm.), smooth, for 
a time somewhat rhombically ancipital, scarcely enlarged upwards. Cata- 
phyls a single nearly basal pair, subannular. Leaves elliptical-oblance- 
olate or obovate, very obtuse, 4-6x8-12 em., acutely attenuate at base and 
wing-petioled for 15 mm. Spikes more or less clustered, rather long 
(30-50 mm.), with about 4 rather long and slender fusiform joints some 
24- to 30-flowered in 6 series: peduncle 3-5 mm. long. Fruit globose, 
wes 4 mm. in diameter: sepals inflexed and nearly meeting.—Plate 
Brazilian region.—The type from Ceara.

Seareely forked, the moderate branches with basal cataphyls only, 
androgynous ?. Internodes short (2-3x20-30 mm.), nearly smooth, at first 
rhombically very sharply ancipital, somewhat dilated upwards. Cata-

tubular. Leaves elliptical-oblanceolate, sometimes mucronate, very ob- 
tuse, 4-5x7-11 em., acutely attenuate to a winged petiole scarcely 10 mm. 
long. Spikes mostly solitary, rather long (20, becoming 50 mm.), with 
about 4 fusiform-oblong joints some 24- to 40-flowered in 6 series: pedun-
