Danser), wild parasite on Ficus sp. from Siddapur area of Karwar Dt, Karnataka I think more closer to the images at Elytranthe capitellata (Wight & Arn.) Engl. in Engl. & Prantl rather than those at Elytranthe parasitica (L.) Danser

Loranthus falcatus to me. It seems to be Dendropthoe falcata to me too !! This is Macrosolen capitellatus. Flowers would be just 2 cm long and axillary. Dendrophthoe flowers would be 4-6 cm long and in long unilateral racemes. it is Macrosolen capitellatus (Wt & Arn.)

Flowers in unilateral racemes; Corolla 5-6 cm long...................Dendrophthoe kindly refer subject: 'Plant for id 301209MK2' for D. falcata species picture. The specific epithet itself suggests the shape of leaves. I also think it should be E. parasitica as per keys & illustration at: Macrosolen capitellatus. I Think this is a Macrosolen capitellatus. the bracts are tubular and connate. the corolla tube is less than 2 cm long. in Elytranthe the corolla tube is longer.
