The sessile inflorescence in this species is distinctive because it is
sunken into the stem cortex. There is no peduncle, only rays
(pedicels) of the individual flowers. The flowers are grouped
into 2- or 3-flowered triads but all arise from the stem in close
proximity. This specimen differs from the description in Barlow (1992)
in that its filaments are quite long, longer than the anthers.

in
this species is explosive. At the slightest touch, the corolla lobes
snap open and the filaments coil up rapidly. This causes the anthers
and enclosed pollen to be flung as far as 20 cm. The mechanism is an
evolutionary adaptation to bird pollination. Photo from Visser (1981).

formosus
- Inflorescence
of large red-orange flowers. As described by Danser (1931), M. formosus is
present on the Malay peninsula, Sumatra, and Java (not recorded at
the time from Borneo). The flower morphology (corolla length,
abrupt curve above the calyx) suggests this species as does the flower
color: "the corolla is scarlet in different intensity up to the wings,
above this part with a golden-yellow portion or not, the neck and
margins of the lobes black, the sides of the lobes grayish green, or
whitish in the lower part" (Danser 1931). Borneo, Sarawak,
Malaysia.

unique morphological features." Vegetatively, its stems resemble those
of its host (Bursera)
and occur as long and short shoots. It
may flower in the leafless state (not the case on these photos); a

attachments
to their host branches. The haustorium of the parasite induces the
formation of a placenta-like expansion of the host wood. When the
soft parts of the haustorium are removed, the flared woodrose remains.
- Woodroses. These are what
the haustorial connections look like when simply removed and
dried. Clockwise from top left: Dendrophthoe
curvata [DLN 2787], Amyema
villiflorum
[DLN 2799], Dendrophthoe
curvata [DLN S.N.], and Erianthemum
sp.
- Woodroses are often made into art objects in many parts of
the neo- and paleotropics. Here are some examples:
- Carving of a lizard
from SE Asia.
- Carving of a lizard with
an umbrella, also made from a woodrose. These woodroses are
produced on the island of Bali where host trees
(Melia, chinaberry) are
puposely infected with mistletoe seeds to begin the
infection. There are many commercial web sites selling these art
objects that go by other names such as wood rose, mistletoe wood,
parasite wood, or Baliwood (!).
- Photo from Kuijt (1969,
figure 7-12a) showing a carved head from Mexico with three woodroses,
possibly from a Psittacanthus
species.

is curled inward, an adaptation to feeding on the nectar from mistletoe
flowers. Photos from Kuijt (1969).
These pages have been assembled
from available literature and
photographs for loranths of that region.
Phylogeny
A detailed molecular
phylogeny of genera within the family has
been published in American Journal of Botany (Vidal-Russell and
Nickrent 2008) and can be viewed HERE.
A study that examined the timing of evolution of aerial parasites
(including Loranthaceae) was published in Molecular Phylogenetics and
Evolution (Vidal-Russell and Nickrent 2008) and can be viewed HERE.
The position of the family
within Santalales has been discussed by
Nickrent, D. L., and V. Malécot (2001), a web version of
which
can be viewed HERE.
