late, anthers G. 
L. pauciflorus, Swartz, FI. Ltd, Occ. 627? 
II A B. Trees, higher mountains. 
FL Throughout the year. 
Frutescent, about a foot in height. Leaves an inch or 
more in length. Racemes axillary, usually two together, 
shorter than the leaf, usually 3-G-fiowerecr: peduncle fili- 
form : pedicels one-fourth of an inch in length, 1-flovvcred. 
Flowers small. Bracteoo 3, rounded, concave, imbricated. 
Calyx edentulous. Petals lineari-lanceolate, sub-acute. 
Stamens G, alternately short and long. Ovary obovate : 
style erect, thickest at the middle : stigma obtuse. Berry 
oblong, 1-seeded: seed linear, compressed, green. 
In Swartz’s plant the raceme is tri-partite, and the an- 
thers arc sessile. This leads me to doubt the identity of 
the two plants, although there is a similarity in other re- 
spects. 
3. Loranthus parvifolius. Small-leaved Loran- 
thus. 
Glabrous, branches terete, compressed at the 
end, leaves subpetiolate ovate attenuated at the 
base obtuse at the apex nerveless, peduncles op- 
posite axillary 3-fid, 3-fiowercd one third the length 
of the leaves, petals lanceolate acute, stamens 
shorter than the petals.
