Attached here are 2 photos of Loranthaceae member, presumably Dendrophthoe curvata<\/i>.
Found\u00a0on Chiplun –\u00a0Karad road on 21 DEC 08<\/font><\/p>\n
Most of the Loranthaceae<\/i> members that I have in available resources seem to flower-fruit around middle of the year, except for D. falcata<\/i> during the start \/ end of the year.\u00a0
Some of the important sites put D. falcata<\/i> as a synonym of D. curvata<\/i>.
However there are some interesting facts about how these are separate species
— put at The Parasitic Plant Connection
http:\/\/www.parasiticplants.siu.edu\/NewGuineaLoranths\/Dendrophthoe\/Dcurvata.html<\/font><\/a>\u00a0<\/div>\n
Ruling out D. falcata<\/i> for two reasons, in favour of D. curvata<\/i>:
– most of the resources point out that D. falcata<\/i>, has midrib of its leaves – usually and noticeably, red in colour
– the prominent rounded lenticels; D. falcata<\/i> often has glabrous stems \/ branches, or are finely lenticillated\u00a0<\/div>\n
One of the concerns is that there is nothing found about distribution of D. curvata<\/i> in India (perhaps because of it being considered synonymous to D. falcata<\/i>)<\/div>\n
… please validate.<\/p>\n
\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
… forgot to conclude my message.\u00a0<\/div>\n
For more views, here is a link to flickr site:<\/div>\n

…, this is old D. falcata<\/i> var coccinea<\/i> which is now syn’d with D falcata<\/i>. Earlier D falcata<\/i> with greenish flowers was var falcata<\/i>. There are no var now. <\/p>\n

Epiphyte from Solan (HP)<\/a>: This epiphytic plant was found on wayside on Kalka-Shimla Highway near Solan. <\/font>I suppose this to be Dendrophthoe falcata<\/i>. Kindly validate. <\/p>\n
\n

\u00a0– Does look like Dendrophthoe falcata<\/i> (L.f) Ettingsh. Thanks a lot for sharing this beautiful parasitic epiphyte.
Pollination and seed dispersal takes place in this taxa by birds.<\/font> <\/p>\n

\n

\u00a0– I also think it is D. falcata<\/i>. D. glabrescens<\/i> seems to be an Australian species.

Dendrophthoe falcata from Canopy of KMTR_GK_21-04-2012:<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0Please find attached herewith the different form of Dendrophthoe falcata<\/i> from the canopy of evergreen forests<\/font> of KMTR, Tamil Nadu<\/font>. This species prefer to grow only on top of the canopy of Palaquim ellipticum<\/i> and Ormosia travancorica. <\/i> The height varies from 8-23m and we had to climb the host trees to do pollination experiments and visitation observation. It was a very unique and nice experience to climb on top of the canopy through single rope and stay there day long!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Some of my photographs of Dendrophthoe falcata<\/i>. Please also check my previous mails on this.<\/p>\n

\n

Thanks … It seems that yours is D.falcata<\/i> var. falcata<\/i> and … D.falcata<\/i> var. coccinea<\/i>. <\/p>\n

\n
\n
According to Gamble, the plant that I studied was D. amplexifolia<\/i> as the leaves shows amplexicaul nature. Later it has been merged with D.falcata<\/i>
<\/font>http:\/\/www.theplantlist.org\/tpl\/record\/kew-2760884<\/font><\/a>
That is why I treated that as D. falcata<\/i> only. Further, ‘the plant list says that there is no variety listed as accepted name for D.falcata<\/i> and whatever varieties were recorded earlier has become synonyms to D.falcata<\/i>. I am not trying to say that the plant list (as of now) is a final word in this matter. <\/font><\/div>\n
We have seen several forms of this species with difference in leaf shape and size and flower color.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

Thanks for your reply. Visited the link mentioned by you. Please see their confidence level and Source WCSP (in review). Hence, it is not accepted so far. <\/font><\/div>\n
I read about var. falcata<\/i> and var. coccinea<\/i> from this link <\/font><\/div>\n
http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Dendrophthoe_falcata<\/font><\/a><\/p>\n
\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

Thank you for your reply. <\/font><\/div>\n
Yes I noted that and I think the red flowered Dendrophthoe<\/i> might be the one that is seen in the picture in the given link. I haven’t seen D. falcata <\/i>with red with an yellow tip as we seen in my pictures that is why I mentioned a different form.<\/font><\/div>\n
Again plant list consider D. coccinea<\/i> as a different species though the confidence level is less and there is no D. falcata<\/i> var. falcata<\/i> in their list!<\/font><\/p>\n
\n

On the basis of medicinal properties and uses the Healers talk about over 30 types of Dendrophthoe<\/i><\/font>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n

Medicinal properties of D. falcata<\/i> (or any other parasite for that matter) vary depend on the host plant, I assume. Traditional healers in TN think that the one that grows on Neem tree has high medicinal value.<\/font> I have no idea about its actual use, though :<\/div>\n

I am sure … has a lot to say…<\/p>\n
\n

I too heard that tribals in Kerala prefer use Dendrophthoe <\/i>spp. grow on Strychnos nux-vomica<\/i>, which is rare at least in Kerala, as medicine.<\/p>\n

please also check the Dendrophthoe falcata<\/i> var. coccinea<\/i> – Red Honey Suckle Mistletoe<\/b> from FOI<\/p>\n

Yes … <\/font>it is indeed Dendrophthoe falcata<\/i> var. coccinea<\/i><\/font><\/span><\/font> I overlooked description given on FOI<\/font><\/p>\n

Thanks for Correction<\/p>\n
\n<\/div>\n
I find D. falcata<\/i> var. coccinea<\/i> missing from ‘The Plant List’. It is neither a syn of any other sp. The other 2 varieties viz. var. amplexifolia<\/i> and var. pubescens<\/i> are syns of D. falcata<\/i>. Can anyone clarify?<\/p>\n
\n

It is really interesting. The name Dendrophthoe falcata<\/i> var. coccinea<\/i> (Talbot) Sant. seems to have been published<\/font><\/p>\n

http:\/\/www.zoosprint.org\/ZooPrintJournal\/2007\/October\/2867-2868.pdf<\/font><\/a>
<\/font><\/div>\n
I am, however, not able to find the source of basionym on which it is formed. Perhaps some one having access to Satapau’s original publication or Flora which describes this taxon. Surely it can’t be Dendrophthoe coccinea<\/i> (Jacq.) G. Don, a totally different species.
<\/font><\/div>\n
The flowers colour in D. falcata<\/i> has flower colour ranging from white to pink to red as per Revised Flora of Ceylon. I wonder the basis of recognition of this variety and its basionym.<\/font><\/p>\n
\n

Sir from Two days this plant disturbing me. A few days back another similar looking plant was found from my own city Panipat<\/font> growing on a<\/font> Callistemon<\/i> citrinus<\/i><\/span> (Bottle brush tree).<\/font> I am attaching these pics here. These looks only slightly different in color than the previous pics. also attaching pics of FBI vol 5 where this genus is described as Loranthus<\/i><\/p>\n

\n

For my knowledge, Can you tell what is Loranthus falcatus<\/i> ? I had seen one at Kaas Plateau in Maharashtra some years back. That was also an parasitic plant and i have it’s image which is very similar to this one.<\/div>\n
