Abstract
WE have already reported1 the growth responses of globular and complete embryos of Dendrophthoe falcata (L.f.) Ettings. These investigations have now been extended to Amyema pendula2 (Sieb. and Spreng.) van Tiegh., Amylotheca dictyophleba2 van Tiegh., and Scurrula philippensis2 (Cham, and Schlecht.) G. Don.—all members of the Loranthaceae.
