They use the host plant to provide water and some sugars which are accessed via a specialised structure (haustoria) that penetrates the stem of the host. The plant in the photo was hosted on a mulga (Acacia sp) although numerous other species of tree and shrub can act as a host plant. The particular mistletoe species is pendulous, and greyish coloured. Flowers in sets of 3, the 5 petals covered with short white hairs. Also known as Loranthus quandang or Loranthus canus<br /> Family: Loranthaceae &nbsp; Genus: Amyema &nbsp; Species: quandang &nbsp; Main Flower Colour: Pink<br />Member - John and ValWed, 19 Nov 2014 06:18:00 GMT
