39. Iioranthus incanus, Schum. k Thonn. Add : L. pallidifoliusy 

 Engl, tk Krause in Engl. Jahrb. xlv. 283. 



Upper Guinea. Cameroons : near Dchang, 4300 ft., Ledermann, 1572 ! 



I have little hesitation in refeiTing L. pallidifolius to L. incamis in spite of the 

 very young condition of the Howers. Barter, 3288, from Kppah, South Nigeria, 

 which is undoubtedly L. incanus, has tiower-buds at about the same stage of develop- 

 ment and exhibiting the same type of indumentum as those of L. pallidifolius. The 

 indumentum of the corolla in Loranthus always appears denser in young buds than 

 in the fully expanded flower, owingjto the great increase in size of the corolla and 

 the resulting looser arrangement of the Iniirs. 



45. Loranthus glaucocarpus, Pe}jr. Add : L. otavensis, Engl. 

 &, Krause in Engl. Jahrb. xlv. 2H5. 



Kower Guinea, (lerman South-west Africa: near Otavi, on Croton sp., 

 Binter, 901 ! 



According to Eiigler and Krauze, Dinter's specimen bears both pentamerous and 

 hexiimerous Howers. Tliis is the only African species of Loranthus in which tlie 

 number of corolJa-lobes and stamens is known to vary. Loranthus hexasepalus, 

 Engl. {Thelecarpus hexasepalus. Van Tiegh.) may, however, prove to be nothing but 

 a hexamerous form of the widely distributed L. incanus, Schum. & Thonn. 



49. LoranthTis fulvus, Engl. Add : L. Domheyce, Krause & 

 Dinter in Engl. Jahrb. xlv. 283. 



3tower Guinea. German South-west Africa : near Otavi, on Domheya sp.» 

 Dinter, 933 ! 



50. Loranthus oreophilus, Oliv. Add : L. ciliolatus, Engl. Jc 

 Krause in Engl. Jahrb. xlv. 285. L. [rigidissimus, Engl, k Krause, 

 I.e. 287. 



Upper Guinea. Cameroons: Tchape Pass, 4700 ft., Ledermann, 2690» 

 2760 ! 2841 ! 



It is a matter of great difficulty to define tlie limits of some of the species of 

 Loranthus, sect. Oupulati. As far as can be judged, however, from the detached 

 leaves and intlorescences of L. ciliolatus and L. rigidissitnus which have been seen 

 by the writer, tliese two species, which were collected in the same locality, can 

 hardly be distinguished from each other or from L. oreophilus. 



58. Loranthus Braunii, Fiigl. Add : L. togoensis, Engl. & 

 Krause in Engl. Jahrb. xlv. 28(;. L. scarlatinus, Engl. & Krause, I.e. 



Upper Guinea. Togo: near Bngida, Warnecke, 109! Cameroons: Bam- 

 butto Mountains, near Singwa Market, 7000 ft., Ledermann, 1609 ! 



L. Braunii, Engl., as treated above (p. 303) includes six species which have been 

 considered distinct by Continental botanists. Those who admit the correctness of this 

 treatment will include L. t o(/oe nsis &nd L. scarlatinus also under L. Braunii. The 

 material accessible to the writer is too incomplete to determine to wliich of the 

 varieties of L. Braunii they should be referred. 



60a. Loranthus pachycladus, Sprague in Kev: Bidletin, 1912^ 

 233. A bush about 5 ft. in diam. Branches stout, nodose, cinnamon- 

 brown, 3-4 lin. in diam., bark irregularly cracked longitudinally; 

 branch lets striate, glabrous, greenish-brown in a dried state, internodes
