In view it may be some other species. <\/p>\n
\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
It is not Dendrophthoe falcata<\/em> <\/p>\n
\n
It appears to be Dendrophthoe glabrescens<\/em>\u00a0as per\u00a0\u00a0 <\/div>\n

Yes It is Dendrophthoe glabrascens<\/em>; I got corrected with some technical help; I have corrected in my collections, sorry to inform you. Please correct the things,\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Dendrophthoe<\/i> glabrescens<\/i> (Blakeley) Barlow is reported from Australia (N-Western Australia, Northern Territory, Queensland, Torres Strait Isl., NE-New South Wales), Lesser Sunda Isl. (Timor, Lombok, Alor), New Guinea<\/font> as per Catalogue of Life<\/font><\/a><\/div>\n
I may be Dendrophthoe falcata<\/em> (L.f.) Ettingsh.<\/font><\/font><\/font>\u00a0as leaves are quite variable as per GBIF<\/font><\/a>.<\/div>\n
Pl. see the specimens at <\/div>\n

\n<\/div>\n
\n
Yes, I found it.<\/div>\n
Also the detailed paper at <\/div>\n
https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/<\/font>publication\/340408073_A_new_<\/font>species_of_genus_Dendrophthoe_<\/font>Mart_Lorantheae-Loranthaceae_<\/font>from_the_Peninsular_India<\/font><\/a><\/div>\n
So … plant is Dendrophthoe<\/i> glabrescens<\/i> (Blakeley) Barlow only.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
In fact, there is another paper, to which also appears close:\u00a0<\/div>\n

A new species of genus Dendrophthoe Mart. (Lorantheae-Loranthaceae) from the Peninsular India<\/font><\/a> : Lal Ji Singh, Vinay Ranjan, L. Rasingam, J. Swamy- Journal of Asia-Pacific Biodiversity (2020):<\/div>\n
Abstract: Dendrophthoe gamblei<\/em> (Loranthaceae<\/em>), a new species from the Peninsular India is described and illustrated along with conservation status. Apparently new species is similar to Dendrophthoe memecylifolia<\/em> (Wight and Arn.) Danser, but strictly differs in respect to its morphology of vegetative and floral characters. A taxonomic key to the species of Dendrophthoe Mart. from India is also provided.<\/p>\n
\n
In fact earlier link sent also belonged to Dendrophthoe gamblei<\/em> only as per<\/div>\n
https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/<\/font>publication\/340408073_A_new_<\/font>species_of_genus_Dendrophthoe_<\/font>Mart_Lorantheae-Loranthaceae_<\/font>from_the_Peninsular_India<\/font><\/a><\/div>\n
So … plant should be Dendrophthoe gamblei<\/em> only.<\/p>\n
\n

What is your view ?<\/p>\n

\n

Thank you … for your efforts in finding correct id. yes it is, I have also collected from Nellore Kadapa borders in E.Ghats<\/p>\n

thank you for providing the latest publication, I am happy for we too had a new species in our eflora data.<\/p>\n

Some Loranthus<\/i> (=Denrophthoe<\/i>) Sp. probably<\/p>\n
\n

This is not a parasitic plant i suppose as it is green. this can be termed as epiphyte…<\/font><\/p>\n

\n
Yes it is a stem parasitic plant. Plants come under the family Loranthaceae<\/i> (mistletoe family) are hemi-parasites. They take food from the host trees by means of penetrating roots called the haustoria. They take non-synthesized food, minerals and water as well hence they possess green leaves<\/font>. <\/div>\n

Dendropthe falcata<\/i>.
Not sure about any allied species though if at all they exist (due to colour variation)<\/p>\n

Id this parasite please. Could this be Balanophora<\/i> sp.?<\/p>\n
Location: Satyamangalam forest plains\u00a0<\/font><\/div>\n
Date: 08 Dec 2009<\/font><\/p>\n
\n
Balanophora<\/em> as I know is a root parasite with rhizome, scale leaves and spadix inflorescence, at least one species I know B. involcrata looks like a red mushroom. In fact it resembles mushroom so much that it took us good time to identifify it as an angiosperm. In fact I had published a paper in Science Reporter in 1972:\u00a0A Flowering mushroom?\u00a0Science Reporter<\/i>.\u00a09<\/b>(5): 236<\/font>-237<\/font><\/font>.<\/span><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

Oh, sorry for the misidentification.<\/span>
<\/span><\/div>\n

Dendrophthoe falcata<\/i> of Loranthaceae<\/em>?<\/p>\n

Yes … We have it growing on branches of Trees in Delhi<\/p>\n

Pl. correct.<\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n

\n
\n
Thank you … for pointing it out!<\/div>\n
The flower on FOI was photographed by\u00a0… in 2010. That time there was no report of an India record of Dendrophthoe glabrescens in India. But since this was the closest I could get to any known species, I identified it as Dendrophthoe glabrescens. Good to know that it has been described as a new species a decade later!<\/p>\n
