4 mm long and each in turn bearing a single triad of flowers, all the

funnel-shaped, 3 mm long, the limb produced, truncate or minutely 
toothed, each subtended by a small bract. Petals 5, free, glabrous, about 
2.2 cm long, 1.5 mm wide, the reflexed portion 5 to 6 mm long. Fila-

Luzon, Province of Benguet, Mount Pulog, For. Bur. 16064 Curran, Merritt, 
& Zschokke, January, 1909, parasitic on Pinus insularis, altitude about 1,200 m. 
Apparently also represented by immature specimens from the same province, 
Bur. Sci. 2712 Mearns, April, 1907. 
Manifestly closely allied to Lorantlms lusonensis, but with smaller, shining 
leaves, and 5-merous, quite glabrous flowers.

From the meager description given by Van Tieghem, and the fragment of 
Cuming 1956 before me, on which Stemmatophyllum sessilifolium Van Tiegh. 
( Loranthus sessilifolius Engl.) was based, I can not distinguish the species from 
the above.

In my previous consideration of Loranthus mirabilis 5 the specimens cited, 
other than Cuming 1966, do not belong to this species.
