to 4 cm long, laterally keeled, 3-lobed at the apex, the lobes 
irregular, ovate, acuminate, up to 1.5 cm long, glabrous, each 
inclosing two flowers. Calyx tubular, about 3.5 cm long, 
glabrous, usually 2-lobed, the lobes ovate, acuminate, irregular, 
0.8 to 1.5 cm long. Corolla white, the tube fleshy, slender, 
cylindric, about 3.5 cm long, externally usually slightly pubescent 
above, the lateral lobes ovate, acuminate, about 12 mm long, 8 
mm wide, the upper (inner) one similar but thicker, externally 
slightly pubescent. Lip broadly ovate, entire, somewhat acumi- 
nate, externally slightly pubescent, about 12 mm long, 10 mm 
wide, about 15-nerved, adherent to the stamen below. Stamen 
about 8 mm long, 2.6 mm wide, adherent to the lip below, the 
connective produced about 1.5 mm, ovate, deeply cleft. Stigma 
obovoid, 1.5 mm long.

The third species of this endemic genus to be found, differing from both 
the previously described ones in its much longer, cylindric, oblong, not 
globose or ovoid heads. In appearance it most closely resembles A DEL- 
MI ERIA PARADOXA (Ridl.) ( Hornstedtia paradoxa Ridl. 1905, Elvieria 
bifida Ridl., and Adelmeria bifida Ridl. 1909), but in addition to the 
characters indicated above differs from that species in its entire lip, and 
slightly pubescent corolla. The head, so far as its shape and the bracts 
are concerned strongly resembles the inflorescence of Hedychium coronarium 
Koenig. 
LORANTHACEAE 
LORANTHUS Linneaus 
LORANTHUS EUCALYPTIPHYLLUS sp. nov. Dendrophthoe. 
Species L. haenkeano affinis, differt foliis lanceolatis, falcatis 
vel subfalcatis, longioribus, usque ad 23 cm longis, floribus long- 
ioribus, circiter 4 cm longis. 
A parasitic shrub, glabrous except the inflorescence, the 
branches terete, light-gray, smooth, shining, the ultimate ones 4 
to 5 mm diameter. Leaves alternate, rather distant, lanceolate, 
subfalcate to strongly falcate, 17 to 22 cm long, 2.5 to 5 cm wide, 
very thickly coriaceous, pale, somewhat shining, and of about 
the same color on both surfaces when dry, brittle, the base acute 
or somewhat acuminate, gradually narrowed above the middle 
to the somewhat acuminate apex; lateral nerves about 7 on 
each side of the midrib, ascending, very obscure or nearly ob- 
solete; petioles 2 to 3 cm long. Inflorescence in the upper axils, 
solitary, apparently erect or ascending, a compound umbel about 
10 cm in diameter, many-flowered, the peduncle somewhat pu- 
berulent, about 3 cm long, the primary branches numerous,
