Mistletoe flowering
South Lawson Fire Trail.
Amyema pendulum
[Family LORANTHACEAE]
Clinging to its Eucalyptus host, with its pendulous Eucalyptus like leaves.
Mistletoes are semi-parasitic. They have chlorophyll in their leaves and can therefore manufacture their own food. They use the host to provide water and support; as a root system
