- Title
A note on the biological control of Scurrula cordifolia (Wall.) G. Don by another mistletoe in Sivalik Hills (India).

- Abstract
Observations made on the hyperparasitism of <em>Viscum loranthi</em> Elmer on the parasitic weed <em>Scurrula cordifolia</em> (Wall.) G. Don in the Sivalik Hills suggest that the hyperparasite is providing effective biological control of the latter. Moreover, as the hyperparasite appears to attack only mistletoes, it can probably be introduced with safety into other localities where <em>S. cordifolia</em> is spreading.
