Amyema Quandang
''Amyema quandang'' is a species of hemi-parasitic shrub which is widespread throughout the mainland of Australia, especially arid inland regions, sometimes referred to as the grey mistletoe.

Amyema Preissii
''Amyema preissii'', commonly known as wireleaf mistletoe, is a species of mistletoe, an epiphytic, hemiparasitic plant of the family Loranthaceae. It is native to Australia where it has been recorded from all mainland states. The flowers are red and up to 26 mm long. The fruits are white or pink, globose and 8–10 mm in diameter. Its habitat is sclerophyll forest and woodland where it is often found on wattles. On Victoria's Bellarine Peninsula its hosts include coast wirilda, golden wattle and drooping sheoak. Its sticky seeds are eaten and dispersed by mistletoebirds.

This distinctive mistletoe has feathery foliage, composed of soft, needle-like leaves (with pointed, but not sharp, tips). Foliage is either open and loosely branched or dense and very closely branched, with individual plants often displaying ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Amyema Pendula
''Amyema pendula'', also known as drooping mistletoe or furry drooping mistletoe, is a species of flowering plant, an epiphytic hemiparasitic plant of the family Loranthaceae, found attached to several species of Australian eucalypt and occasionally on some species of Acacia. It is endemic to south-eastern Australia. It is the most common mistletoe in Victoria, especially on the coastal side of the Great Dividing Range. It has shiny leaves and red flowers arranged in groups of 3 or 4. It is distinguished from the similar ''Amyema miquelii'' through the lack of individual stalks on the flowers. There are two subspecies: * ''A. pendula'' subsp. ''pendula'' with short flower stalks and anthers to the east of the Great Dividing Range * ''A. pendula'' subsp. ''longifolia'' with longer stalks and anthers to the west and inland. Taxonomy ''Amyema pendula'' was first described in 1827 as ''Loranthum pendulus'' by Franz Sieber in Sprengel's ''Curae Posteriores''. It was transferred to ...

Amyema Miquelii
''Amyema miquelii'', also known as box mistletoe, is a species of flowering plant, an epiphytic hemiparasitic plant of the family Loranthaceae, found attached to several species of Australian eucalypt and occasionally on some species of Acacia. It is the most widespread of the Australian Mistletoes, occurring mainly to the west of the Great Dividing Range. It has shiny leaves and red flowers arranged in groups of 3. It is distinguished from the similar ''Amyema pendula'' through the individual stalks of the flowers. The seeds are dispersed by various birds, particularly by the mistletoebird (''Dicaeum hirundinaceum'') that eat the fruit and then either wipes the sticky remains from the beak or when defecating has to wipe it from its feathers onto, most often, a twig due to the extremely sticky nature of the seed. The seed immediately begins to germinate and soon penetrates the vascular system of the tree and creates a physiological connection with the xylem of the new host. Fro ...

Amyema Melaleucae
''Amyema melaleucae'', also known as the tea-tree mistletoe, is a species of flowering plant within the genus '' Amyema'', an epiphytic hemiparasitic plant of the family Loranthaceae native to Australia and found in Western Australia and South Australia on the coast, from north of Perth almost to the Victorian border. Description It is an erect shrub with a single haustorium. The leaves are narrow and lanceolate (20 to 45 mm long and from 2 to 4 (sometimes) 7 mm wide) with no petiole, and rounded at the apex. Unlike many other Amyemas, the corolla in bud is smooth. The inflorescence consists of an umbel of triads (flowers in groups of three) on a stalk (peduncle). The central flower is without a stem (pedicel), while the lateral flowers are on angular pedicels. The corolla is club-shaped. The flowers are pink and red and may be seen from January to April or August to November. The fruit is almost globular. Ecology It grows in coastal scrub, (usually) on ''Melaleuc ...

Amyema Maidenii
''Amyema maidenii'' is a species of flowering plant within the genus '' Amyema'', an epiphytic hemiparasitic plant of the family Loranthaceae native to Australia and found Australia-wide in the inland (but not in Victoria nor Tasmania).

The leaves are flat. Ecology ''A. maidenii'' is found on ''Acacias''.Barlow, B.A. 1984.

Amyema Mackayensis
''Amyema mackayensis'', the mangrove mistletoe, is a species of flowering plant within the genus '' Amyema'', an epiphytic hemiparasitic plant of the family Loranthaceae native to Australia, and found along its northern and eastern coasts in New South Wales, Queensland, the Northern Territory and Western Australia, and also in New Guinea. Description The opposite flat leaves have a distinct stem and are thick, fleshy and round, and can be up to 6 cm in length. The inflorescence is an umbel of two or more triads or tetrads (flowering in a group of four). The mature buds are terete (long and cylindrical) or angular, and smooth or with just a few scattered hairs. Ecology ''A. mackayensis'' is found along the coast and in maritime communities, on mangroves, in particular on the Grey Mangrove (''Avicennia marina'') Moss & Kendall comment that there is evidence that this mistletoe accumulates excess salt loads in leaves which it sheds, and thus reduce its salt load.
