Thanks Garg ji for your encouragement. It is the effort of my late Prof Dr. K. Rajasekaran (former HOD Botany Presidency college, Chennai, Principal,  Nandanam College, Chennai, revised the Indian Loranthaceae.) who accompanied us to collection and arranged for identification in BSI Coimbatore. Mr. P. Bharghavan, retired botanist BSI, patiently identified the specimens.
