The Classification of California Viscaceae: An Alternative Perspective

Madroño, 2016
Abstract The classification of Viscaceae in the second edition of the Jepson Manual (TJM2) differs radically from that in the first edition of the Jepson Manual (TJM1). The number of species of Arceuthobium M. Bieb. was reduced from 12 in TJM1 to three in TJM2, and for Phoradendron Nutt. reduced from seven species to four.

A revision of the Viscaceae of Australia.

Brunonia, 1983
The Australian Viscaceae comprise 3 genera, Viscum, Notothixos and Korthalsella, and 14 species. A further 2 species of Korthalsella are endemic to Norfolk and Lord Howe Islands respectively. None of the genera and only 7 of the species are endemic to Australia. Three species are described as new, viz. Korthalsella emersa, K.

Host species of mistletoes (Loranthaceae and Viscaceae) in Australia

Australian Journal of Botany, 2020
In order to study the relationships between mistletoes and their host species, comprehensive collections of both mistletoes and hosts are needed. The effect of sampling effort on the estimation of mistletoe host range was demonstrated in a comparison of an inventory of host mistletoe interactions published by Downey in 1998 and a 2019 inventory ...

A NEW COMBINATION IN PHORADENDRON (VISCACEAE)

TAXON, 1989
SummaryThe Committee for Spermatophyta has voted that the name “Phoradendron leucarpum” should not be treated as a homonym of “Phoradendron leucocarpum” thereby rendering Phoradendron serotinum (Raf.) M. C. Johnston incorrect. Although of minor economic importance, the name of the American mistletoe cannot be conserved through provisions of Art.

Vectors, viscin, and Viscaceae: mistletoes as parasites, mutualists, and resources

Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, 2003
Mistletoes are aerial, hemiparasitic plants found on trees throughout the world. They have unique ecological arrangements with the host plants they parasitize and the birds that disperse their seeds. Similar in many respects to vector-borne macroparasites, mistletoes are often detrimental to their hosts, and can even kill them.

Chromosome numbers in African and Madagascan Loranthaceae and Viscaceae

Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society, 1975
Eighty-five chromosome numbers representing about 63 species and 23 genera are reported for African and Madagascan Loranthaceae. The base chromosome number of all genera studied is χ= 9. This chromosome number also typifies all other Old World genera of the tribe Lorantheae, and thus supports the previously suggested thesis that the Asian and African ...

Typification ofDendrophthora buxifolia(Viscaceae)

Rhodora, 2016
Abstract Typification of Dendrophthora buxifolia, a species of mistletoe from Cuba, is addressed here. A lectotype and epitype are designated. Also, a lectotype for Dendrophthora buxifolia var. rotundata, considered as a synonym, is designated.
