Viscum hoolei (Wiens) Polhill & Wiens

Although this subspecies is monoecious, the distribution of pistillate and staminate flowers is not generally equal, and there is usually a predominance of one sex on flowering shoots, making the monoecious condition sometimes difficult to detect. Whereas the internodes of typical V. capense are usually shorter than 10 mm, stout, and of rather uniform dimensions (especially the population from the south-western Cape), those of subsp. hoolei are often longer than 10 mm, and the terminal and lateral shoots tend to be thinner than the primary shoots.
