Loranthus
''Loranthus'' is a genus of parasitic plants that grow on the branches of woody trees. It belongs to the family Loranthaceae, the showy mistletoe family. In most earlier systematic treatments it contains all mistletoe species with bisexual flowers, though some species have reversed to unisexual flowers. Other treatments restrict the genus to a few species. The systematic situation of ''Loranthus'' is not entirely clear. The generic name in botanical Latin means strap-flower, in reference to the shape of the petals. Taxonomy The taxonomic history of the generic name ''Loranthus'' is complicated. In 1753, Carl Linnaeus used the name ''Loranthus'' for a genus of one species, ''Loranthus americanus'', which was thus the type species. He later added other species, including ''Loranthus scurrula'' in 1762, a species he had previously placed in a separate genus, ''Scurrula'', and ''Loranthus europaeus'' in 1763, a name first used by Jacquin in 1762.

Tickell's Flowerpecker
The pale-billed flowerpecker or Tickell's flowerpecker (''Dicaeum erythrorhynchos'') is a tiny bird that feeds on nectar and berries, found in India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and western Myanmar. The bird is common especially in urban gardens with berry bearing trees. They have a rapid chipping call and the pinkish curved beak separates it from other species in the region. Description This is a tiny bird, 8 cm long, and is one of the smallest birds occurring in most parts of southern India and Sri Lanka. The bird is plain brownish to olive green. The underside is buff olive and does not contrast greatly with the upperparts and not whitish as in the Nilgiri flowerpecker of the Western Ghats and Nilgiri hills nor is it streaked as in the thick-billed flowerpecker. The Nilgiri flowerpecker has a pale supercilium unlike this species which has no marking on the head. The Sri Lankan race ''ceylonense'' Babault, 1920 - is greyer and smaller than the nominate race of peninsular India. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
