Viscum orientale Willd. is recorded for Papua by Mueller

 quoted Scheffer's record in Bot. Gard. Buitenzorg. vi, p. 27. 

 Scheffer's record is as follows (F. orienfa,Ie Willd. Miq. I.e. 

 p. 804) : — I have not seen this specimen and therefore cannot 

 say if it is the same as V. verruculosum Wight & Am. C. 

 Lauterbach in Flora Nov. Guinea, vol. viii, pt. iv, p. 816 (1912), 

 records it for Dutch New Guinea : Biwak Hollandia (Humboldt-
