In 1834, G. Don (General History of the Dielilamydeous Plants, iii., 419) 

 reproduced the descriptions of L. pendulus Sieber, L. congener Sieber, and L. 

 Gaudichaudi DC. under the generic name of Dendrophthoe, and on page 431 

 quotes L. eucalyptoides DC. (L. eucalyptifolkis Sieber), while on page 432 ap- 

 pears a description of Nuytsia floribunda R. Br. The latter is also redescribed 

 by Endlicher (Genera Plantaruni, 1836-40, p. 803), and a reference to it will 

 be found in Meisner (Plantarum Vaseularium Genera, ii., 1836-43, p. 110). In 

 1837 Tenzl described Lorantlnts linophyllus (Hugel Enumeratio Plantarum Novae 

 Hollandiae, p. 56), and Nuytsia floribunda R. Br. is redescribed by Hugel. 



In the following year Hooker (Icones Plantarum, p. 13, t. 73) described 

 Viscum incanum {Notothixos incanus Oliv.), and Lindley (Mitchell's Three Ex- 

 peditions, ii., 1838, 69) described L. Quandang. A year later (Appendix to 

 Bot. Mag., 4) he figured Nuytsia floribunda R. Br. and refers to its habit, etc., 

 on page xxxix. 



Walpers appears to be the next writer, for in his Bepertonm Botanices 

 Systematicae^ ii., 1843, 438) lie gives a desei'iption of Viscum incanum Hook. 

 {Notothixos incanus Oliv.) and V. distichum Endl. from Norfolk Island. On 

 page 443, he reproduces a description of L. linophyllus Fenzl, and Nziytsia 

 floribunda R. Br. is mentioned on p. 446, wliile L. Quandang Lindl., is re- 

 described on p. 940. 



In 1844 Miquel (Plantae Preissianae, i., 281-2) contributed the following- 

 species : L. miraculosus Miq., L. Casuarinae Miq., L. scoparia Miq., L. Miquelii 

 Lehm., L. Melaleuca Lehm., and L. Preissii Lehm. The following year these 

 species and Nuytsia floribunda R. Br. were redescribed by Walpers (Rep. Bot. 

 Syst., v., 938, 940). 



Three years later Dr. Behr (Sch. Linnaea, xx., 624) described L. Exocarpi; 

 Lindley (Vegetable Kingdom, 1847, p. 791) mentions Nuytsia Ugustrina A. 

 Cunn. (Gaiadendron Ugustrina Cunn. Engl.), his remarks being really a repeti- 

 tion of those in Botanical Mag., 1839. 



In 1848 Hooker (Mitchell's Tropical Australia) described the following- 

 species: — L. aurantiacus A. Cunn. MS. (p. 101), L. linearifolius Hook (p. 102), 

 L. nutans A.C. (L. Quandang Lindley) (p. 158), L. subfalcatus Hook. (L. Exo- 

 carpi Behr.) (p. 224). These species are also described by Walpers (Annal. 

 Bot. Syst., ii., 1851-52). Hooker (Icon. PL, 1852, Plate 880)' also described and 

 figured Loranthus longifolius Hook. (L. pendulus Sieb.). 



To A. Gray (Botany of the American Exploring Expedition, 1854, 739-41) 

 we are indebted for a full description and a flg-ure of L. celastroid.es Sieb. 

 (Phrygilanthus celastroides Eichl.), together with a reference to L. eucalyptif alius 

 Sieb. (i. eucalyptoides DC, P. eucalypti folim), L. pendulus Sieb., L. nutans 

 Gray non Cunn., L. Cunninghamii A. Gray, L. congener Sieber, and a descrip- 

 tion and figure of L. maytenifoliu^ A. Gray, a doubtful Australian species. 



In 1856 Miquel (Ned. Kruidk. Arch., iv., 105) contributed a short paper, 

 probably on behalf of Baron von Mueller, in which appears a description of L. 

 Exocarpi Behr. var. (a) flavescens F. v. M. and var. (b) coccineus F. v. M. 

 He also refers to L. miraculosus Mic(., L. Melaleucae Lehm., L. pendulus Sieb. 

 and L. aurantiacus A. Cunn. 



Mueller (Report Burdekin Expedition, 1860) gave a short account of the 

 Australian species known to him at the time and furnished a description of L. 

 vitellinus F. v. M. ; L. signatus F. v. M. under L. insularum A. Gray. L. alyxi- 

 folius F. V. M. is also described under L. maytenifoUus Gray, while L. dictyo- 

 phlebus F. v. M. and L. grandibracteus F. v. M. are described for the first time.
