It is really interesting. The name Dendrophthoe falcata var. coccinea (Talbot) Sant. seems to have been published
http://www.zoosprint.org/ZooPrintJournal/2007/October/2867-2868.pdf I am, however, not able to find the source of basionym on which it is formed. Perhaps some one having access to Satapau's original publication or Flora which describes this taxon. Surely it can't be Dendrophthoe coccinea (Jacq.) G. Don, a totally different species. The flowers colour in D. falcata has flower colour ranging from white to pink to red as per Revised Flora of Ceylon. I wonder the basis of recognition of this variety and its basionym. -- Dr. Gurcharan Singh Retired Associate Professor SGTB Khalsa College, University of Delhi, Delhi-110007 Res: 932 Anand Kunj, Vikas Puri, New Delhi-110018.
