Dear all,
As per A revised handbook to the flora of Ceylon, Volume 6 By M. D.
Dassanayake, Francis Raymond Fosberg,
the parasite is difficult to confirm as *Taxillus tomentosus* (Heyne ex
Roth) Tieghem of Loranthaceae.
because 1. the bracts are not 3 - 5mm longer
2. petiole not 5 - 7cm long
Members, please recheck this parasite.
