Luzon, Province of Pizal, Bosoboso (2140 Ahern's collector) December 15,

Loranthus cauliflorus Merrill sp. nov. % h^icnimulophyllum, Arthrostenima. 
Shrubby, glabrous throughout, the flowers arranged along one side of 
the branches below the leaves on very short usually trianthous peduncles. 
Branches dark brown, terete, glabrous, lenticellate. Leaves opposite, 
coriaceous, 18 to 25 cm. long, 6 to 8 cm. wide, oldong-ovate to ovate- 
lanceolate, dull, minutely densely wrinkled when dry, the base acute, 
the apex acuminate ; nerves about 5 on each side of the midrib, ascending ; 
petioles stout, 2 to 2.5 cm. long. Flowers rather numerous, red, the 
peduncles stout, 2 mm. long or less, each bearing three, sometimes but 
two or one, sessile flowers, each flower subtended Ijy a broadly ovate 
basal bract about 2.5 mm. long. Calyx cylindrical, 3 mm. long, the 
limb short, truncate. Petals 5, free, 2 to 2.4 cm. long, linear, 2 mm. wide 
below, free, narrowed above, the recurved portion above the insertion of 
the stamen about 8 mm. long. Anthers about 7 mm. long, sessile or 
subsessile. 
Mindanao, Lake Laiiao, Camp Keithley (55 Mrs. Clemens) January, 190G. A 
very cliaracteristic species, at once recognizable by its peculiar inflorescence, the

upper pair extending nearly to the apex, the reticulations lax. Flowers 
slender, somewhat curved, 2.5 to 3 cm. long, 2 to 5 racemosely disposed 
on each short ])edunele, the peduncles numerous, fascicled in the axils 
of the leaves. Calyx cylindrical, nearly 3 mm. long, somewhat fer- 
ruginous pubei'ulent, the limb produced above the ovary nearly 1 mm., 
5-toothed, the basal bract narrowly ovate, acute, about 1.5 mm. long, the

inflated above, the tube long, red and yellow, grayish or brownish scurfy
