LORANTHACEAE 



Loranthus europaeus Jacquin, Enum. Stirp. Vindob. 230, t. 3 (1762). 

 Franchet in Nouv. Arch. Mus. Paris, ser. 2, vn. 71 (PI. David, i. 261) 



(1884). 



Chili: Peking, A. David, no. 441 (ex Franchet, 1. c). 



Distribution: also Szechuan; Japan; eastern Europe, western Asia to 



Kurdistan. 



I have seen no specimens of L. europaeus from eastern Asia, but Professor 

 Lecomte informs me that in the herbarium of the Museum at Paris there 

 is a specimen from Szechuan collected by Farges and several specimens 

 from Japan. According to David it is found on Elm and also on Apricot. 



Diels in Bot. Jahrb. 



Loranthus yadoriki Siebold apud Maximowicz in Bull. Acad. Sci. St. 

 Petersb. xxn. 229 (1876); Mel. Biol. ix. 609 , 

 xxxvi. beibl. lxxxii. 34 (1905). 



Loranthus Jodoniki Siebold apud Siebold & Zuccarini in Abh. Akad. Muench.

Lecomte) 



chuan, Chekiang (H. H. Hu, no. 465), Kwangtung (ft. Mell, no. 866); 



Korea, Japan. 



As I have not seen Giraldi's specimen, I cannot say if his no. 5998 



represents the type or the var. hupehanus Lecomte (in Sargent, PL Wilson. 

 in. 315 [1916]) which differs in the grayish color of the tomentum of the 

 under side of the leaves.
