Thank you for your reply. Yes I noted that and I think the red flowered Dendrophthoe might be the one that is seen in the picture in the given link. I haven't seen *D. falcata *with red with an yellow tip as we seen in my pictures that is why I mentioned a different form. Again plant list consider D. coccinea as a different species though the confidence level is less and there is no D. falcata var. falcata in their list!
