Decaisnina hollrungii is a species of flowering plant, an epiphytic hemiparasitic plant of the family Loranthaceae native to the New Guinea, Queensland, Australia ,[3] and in the Bismarck Archipelago and the Solomon Islands.[4]

In Queensland, D. hollrungii is found in rainforest and in dense coastal scrub on a wide range of hosts.[4]

Taxonomy

Decaisnina hollrungii was first described in 1889 as Loranthus hollrungii by Karl Moritz Schumann.[5][6] In 1894, Philippe Édouard Léon Van Tieghem assigned it to his new genus, Amylotheca.[7][8] In 1966, Bryan Alwyn Barlow reassigned it to the genus, Decaisnina.[1][2]

Etymology

The generic name, Decaisnina honours the French botanist Joseph Decaisne (1807–1882), and the specific epithet, hollrungii, honours the botanist Udo Max Hollrung (1858-1937).[9]
