LXVII.-LORANTHUS OLEAEFOLIUS. 



T. A. SPRAGUE. 



In 1810 J. C. Wendland proposed a new monotypic genus, Lich- 

 tensteinia, distinguished from Loranthus by connate filaments, 

 hence assigned by him to the Monadelphia Monogynia.* The 

 type species, LtcKienstetriia oleaefolia^ WendL, was a parasitic 

 plant discovered in the Prieska Division of Cape Colony by Dr. H. 

 Lichtenstein, who travelled in South Africa during the period 

 1803-1806. Lichtenstcin gave the following account of the species 

 to Wendland :
