Abstract

Recently it became clear that at least some of the varieties and subspecies that are currently recognised in Bakerella Tiegh. (Loranthaceae) from Madagascar are better placed as species. In several cases these taxa were originally already described as species but not yet in Bakerella, so new combinations are needed. The first four new combinations are published here.
