Cyne quadriangula is a species of parasitic plant belonging to the family Loranthaceae,[1] and was first described in 1935 by Benedictus Hubertus Danser.[1][2]
The type specimen having been lost, a new type specimen was given in 2022 by Daniel Nickrent and Mark Rule,[3] together with a redescription, images, and an explanation of the need for a neotype.[3]
It is native to the Philippines, where it is found on Mindanao, and on Bucas Grande Island,[3] growing in the wet tropical biome,[1] at low elevations (17 m.).[4] Recorded host genera are Myrsine, Timonius, and Antirhea.[5]
