Notes
Danser circumscribed Dendrophthoe flosculosa more widely. Some specimens referred to D. flosculosa by Danser, including some syntypes, have been included in D. x rimituba. The lectotype is chosen in accordance with the more narrow circumscription of D. flosculosa. For distinction as a species, see
