From the meager description given by Van Tieghem, and the fragment of 

 Cuming 1956 before me, on which Stcmmatophyllum sessilifolium Van Tiegh. 

 {Loranthus sessilifoUus Engl.) was based, I can not distinguish the species from 

 the above.

In my previous consideration of Loranthus mirabilis ° the specimens cited, 

 other than Cuming 1966, do not belong to this species.
