Clarence River, several are quite intermediate as to the shape of the leaf." 

 Beckler's specimens include more than one species [W.F.B.] ) ; Mullumbimby (W. 

 Bauerlen, No. 1519) ; Tweed River, on Notothixos subaureus Oliv. (W. Guilfoyle, 

 1871, in Melbourne Herbarium). 



Queensland: Macpherson Range, on Casuarina and Persoonia (C. T. White, 

 Feb., 1912, recorded as Lorantlms maytenifolius Gray) ; Brisbane River, Moreton 

 Bay (quoted by Bentham, I.e.; F. M. Bailey and J. B. Tenison-Woods, These 

 Proceeding-s, iv., 1879-80, 160) ; Noosa Heads, on Banksia integri folia (C. T. 

 White, No. 13, — The typical form; No. 14, with larger and thicker leaves); 

 Burpengary (Dr. T. L. Bancroft, No. 178, 1901, in Queensland Herbarium, 

 labelled L. maytenifolius Gray) ; Tambourine Mountain, on Litsea reticulata 

 (Longman and White, Proe. Roy. Soc. Q'land, 29, 67, also Ex. Queensland Her- 

 barium, No. 184, Feb., 1917). 



Affinities. — Besides the close relationship of this species to P. eucalypti- 

 f alius, it bears a striking resemblance to Loranthits alyxifoliws F.v.M., particularly 

 in the shape and colour of the leaves, but the floral characters are totally different. 

 L. No. 5, n.sp., is another species with leaves somewhat similar in shape, but 

 differing considerablj' in venation. The same may be said of L. No. 9, n.sp. The 

 anthers of these species are however basifixed, and when the flowers are available 

 there is little chance of them being confused with P. celastroides.

Supplementary notes to the description in B. Fl., Hi., 390. 



It is usually a small plant with short, divaricate, brittle branches; union 

 slightly swollen, surrounded by numerous slender adventitious roots, capable of 

 clinging to small objects. Buds very slender, curved, as in all the allied species, 

 and usually the same colour as P. eucalyptifolius. Filaments dark crimson; 

 style green, shaded pink; stig-ma pink, very small. Fruit elliptical or oblong, 

 pale pink. Cotyledons unknown. 



Bange. — The type comes from Logan Vale, Queensland, which is in the 

 vicinity of Mt. Sturt, and Canning Downs, and was proba,bly collected between
