Loranthus Adamsii.



This is a new species of Loranthus which has never been figured before. It was discovered by Mr. James Adams of the Thames Gold Fields, who kindly obtained this specimen for me. It is a small bush two to three feet in height. The flowers are rather large, one and a half to two inches long, and of a very peculiar shape. It flowers in September and October.
