The 2iresent geniM is closely allied to Bifaria Van Tieghem in having 

 trimerous flowers and in tlie shape of the internodes. Van Tieghem docs not 

 give any diagnosis of his geniv?. But, judging from the detailed accounts given 

 ])y tlie author of the tribus Bifariere, the genus seems to have malc flowers 

 with staraens oiJiiosite to the perianth-lobes and U-formcd embiyo-sacs, as is 

 the case ■nith Korthalsella. In establishing Bijaria, Van Tieghem distingn- 

 ishes at least as many as 56 species, including Viscum japonicum TuuNn. on 

 which our genus PseucUxus was founded. Although lie gives no remark on 

 what species lie establishd liis genus Bi/aria, jx't it is very rcasonablo to tliink 

 that the latter was founded on a species other than Viscum japonicum 

 Thunb. As the latter is not congeneric with other species of Bifaria, it sliould 

 to exchided from the species enumerated by Van Tieghem as belonging to liis 

 genus.
