Blanco’s Fusanus parasitus was reduced by "Fernandez-Villar
to. Viscum orientale Willd., which is apparently the correct dis-
position of it. Viscum philippense Llanos, however, was reduced
by him to V. articulatum Burin., although Llanos’s description
in part, as to the leaves: “media verticiladas, aovado-oblongas,
coriáceas y lampiñas” certainly applies to Viscum orientale
Willd. It is probable that Idanos based his description on spe»
cimens of Viscum articulatum growing as a parasite on V.
orientale, as this relationship is occasionally presented by the
two species in the Philippines. Viscum orientale Willd. is widely
distributed in the Philippines at low and medium altitudes,
growing as a parasite on various trees.
