29. Loranthus mindanaensis Merr. 1. c. 186. 
Mindanao, District of Davao, Copeland 341, DeVore & Hoover 285, Williams 
2580. Specimens from Guimaras, For. Bur. 101 Gammill, and from Negros, 
Whitford 1489, are probably referable here, differing from the type in some minor 
characters. 
Endemic. 
The above four species form a group of closely allied forms which are often 
difficult to distinguish. Additional material may lead to the reduction of some 
of them.
