Abstract
During the investigations on Loranthus longiflorus and L. pulverulentus it was observed that both the parasites were found growing between 500-1050m above sea level. L.pulverulintus was parasitizing the plants in the higher range and L. longiflorus in the lower range. They were found attacking 32 timber and fruit plant species some of which had been reported earlier L. longiflorus was more prevalent particularly on old trees of Acacia modesta, while L. pulverulenrus had comparatively low incidence. Only four host species were found commonly attacked by both parasites. For the rest of 28 species they were host specific. L. pulverulentus is a new record in the scrub forests of Rawalpindi.
