Dendrophthoe pentandra (L.) Miq.

Glabrous except for the young shoots, inflorescences and flowers with a somewhat silky off-white to grey or less often brown tomentum, less dense on the distal part of the corolla. Leaves scattered or subopposite; lamina variable, mostly narrowly to broadly elliptic, mostly 6-13 cm long, (1.5—)3 — 8 cm wide, attenuate to cuneate at the base to a petiole 5-20 mm long, rounded to rarely acuminate and acute at the apex, dull on both sides but darker above; venation pinnate with the midrib and the somewhat curvinerved main laterals usually visible on both sides. Inflorescencess at the nodes, a 6-12-flowered raceme; axis 10-20(-35) mm long; pedicels 1-4 mm long. Corolla in mature bud 5-merous, 12-20(-28) mm long (longer in some putative hybrids), inflated to c. 5 mm wide and angular or winged in the lower part, narrowed to a neck, clavate and obtuse or rounded at the apex, mostly green or yellow or orange, rarely red; tube in the open flower (2-) 6-12 mm long, narrowly to broadly campanulate, regular, with the lobes reflexed 4-8 mm higher and together often almost closing the neck. Anther 2-5 mm long, obtuse, longer or shorter than the free part of the filament. Fig. 2. Fig. 21. Fig. 22c.
