Family of mistletoes
Psittacanthus Loranthaceae , commonly known as theshowy mistletoes , is afamily offlowering plants .[ 2] [ 3] woody plants , many of themhemiparasites . The three terrestrial species areNuytsia floribunda Atkinsonia ligustrina Blue Mountains of Australia), andGaiadendron punctatum xylem parasites, but theirhaustoria may sometimes tap thephloem ,[ 4] Tristerix aphyllus holoparasitic .[ 5] Flora of Australia online Archived 2018-04-01 at theWayback Machine ,[ 2] Flora of Malesia .
Originally, Loranthaceae contained allmistletoe species, but the mistletoes of Europe and North America (Viscum Arceuthobium Phoradendron Santalaceae . TheAPG II system 2003 assigns the family to the orderSantalales in the cladecore eudicots .
Molecular phylogenetics suggests the following relationships of tribes, subtribes and genera:[ 6] [ 7] [ 8] [ 9] Nuytsia [ 10] cotyledons , differing substantially from all other Loranthaceae genera.[ 5] [ 5] [ 5] [ 11] et al. (2017)[ 12]
78 genera are accepted:[ 13]
