Amylotheca Tiegh.

Aerial stem-parasitic shrubs, often robust, with epicortical runners bearing secondary haustoria. Leaves mostly opposite, sometimes displaced; venation pinnate. Inflorescences axillary, primarily a raceme of decussate pairs of pedunculate dichasia (triads), sometimes variously reduced (see below); bracts single under each flower, not enlarged to form an involucre. Corolla 6-merous, regular, gamopetalous. Anthers basifixed, immobile. Style simple, articulate above the base, usually with a small knob-like stigma. Fruit ellipsoid to globular, usually with a persistent nipple-like style base. Fig. 10. Fig. 11.
