Wray, on No. 3884, says the flowers are ‘very pale green’, but Miquel 
describes them as red as does Koorders, while the plate in Blume’s Flora Jave 
shows them as pale dull red. In every other respect Wray’s specimens agree 
perfectly. I am rather doubtful about Barnes 10906 which has thinner and 
more acute leaves. 
Loranthus hypoglaucus, Kurz in Journ. As. Soc. Beng. II. 309 (1872) and 
For. Fl. Li. 318; Hook f. Fl. Rr. Ind. V. 50 may possibly be only a variety of 
this with leaves glaucous beneath and corolla tube a little more uniform in 
thickness (Pegu: Nattoung ridge, 6000 ft. Kurz 382!)
