LORANTHUS (from loron, a_ strap, 
and anthos, a flower; in allusion to the 
shape of the petals). Orp. Loranthacee. 
A large genus (about 330 species) of stove, 
greenhouse, or hardy, parasitic shrubs, 
rarely terrestrial trees or shrubs, broadly 
distributed throughout the tropics, beyond which few 
extend. Flowers often beautifully coloured, small or long, 
hermaphrodite or by abortion dicecious ; perianth double; 
calyx truncate or four to six-toothed; petals four to six, 
valvate. Fruit baccate or drupaceous. Leaves entire, 
often thick or fleshy. JL. jlavidus is an interesting, hardy 
or half-hardy parasite, stated, in ‘‘Gartenflora,” to be in 
cultivation in England: this is, however, doubtful. It 
may possibly be grown by sowing the berries upon the 
above-ground roots or on the branches of the Beech-tree. 
L. flavidus (yellowish). fl. produced in small racemes from the 
previous year’s growth; perianth yellowish, jin. long, having a

Zealand, 1885.

Vol. IL., the following variety should now be added:

to the apex pure white, borne well above the foliage. Summer. 
1887. This forms handsome, compact bushes about Ift. in height.
