PHORADENDRON CRULSII (Urban). 

 Phoradendrum Crulsii Urban, Bot. Jahrb. vol. 23. Beibl. 57. p. 11. 1897. 



Mot forked, the long branches with basal eataphyls only, dioecious?. 

 Internodes rather short (3-5x50-60 mm.), the upper acutely and undu- 

 lately 4-winged. Cataphyls?. Leaves somewhat falcately lanceolate, very 

 obtuse, 2.5-3x8-12 cm., more or less evidently 5- or 7-nerved, cuneately 

 subses^ile and clasping. Spikes often clustered, rather long (30, becom- 

 ing; 50-70 mm. in fruit), with half a dozen rather slender joints turbi- 

 nately about 30-flowered in 6 series : peduncle 3 mm. long : scales ciliate. 

 Fruit (immature) red, subglobose, cellular-papillate, 3 mm. in diameter: 

 sepals closely inflexed. Plate 94. 



Brazilian region. The type from Goyaz. 



Specimens examined: BRAZIL. Goyaz (Glaziou, 22021), July 22,

 p. 110. 1868. 



Scarcely forked, the rather long branches with basal eataphyls only, 

 androgynous?. Internodes rather short (3-4x40-50 mm.), the upper 

 acutely and undulately 4-winged. Cataphyls?. Leaves shortly lance- 

 olate, very obtuse, 1-2x8 cm., somewhat evidently 5- or 7-nerved, broadly 

 sessile and clasping. Spikes mostly clustered, moderate (20-30 mm.), 

 with 2 or 3 joints clavately about 18-flowered in 6 series : peduncle 3 mm. 

 long: scales and receptacular cups somewhat ciliate. Fruit (immature) 

 globose, smooth, 3 mm. in diameter : sepals closely inflexed. Plate 94. 



Brazilian region. The type from Brazil. 



Specimens examined: BRAZIL. Without locality (Weddell, 1858,

PHORADENDRON GLAZIOVII (Urban). 

 Phoradendrum Glaziovii Urban, Bot. Jahrb. vol. 23. Beibl. 57. p. 12. 1897. 



Not forking, the rather long somewhat cellular-papillate branches 

 with basal eataphyls only, androgynous. Internodes at length long ( 1 or 

 2-4x40-100 mm. or more), the upper acutely 2- or mostly 4-angled or 

 winged. Cataphyls a single basal pair, or a second pair about 5 mm. 

 above the base, somewhat acutely spreading: an occasional pair of fer- 

 tile scales 2-4 mm. long preceding the foliage. Leaves obovate-oblance- 

 olate or subspatulate, sometimes mucronate, very obtuse or emarginato. 

 2-4x5-9 cm., somewhat revolutely attenuate for 10 or 15 mm. rather than
