Viscum schaeferi Engl. & K.Krause

Leafy, monoecious shrubs of small size, probably not higher than 0.2 m, stout, densely branched with short internodes, greyish green with small leaves, much resembling Boscia, one of its principal hosts. Stems rounded to slightly angled; basal internodes of younger branches 8-12 x 1-2 mm (rather consistent in size), older nodes slightly swollen. Leaves mostly oblong to oblanceolate, 6-8 x 3-4 mm, apex mostly obtuse, often minutely apiculate, tapering slightly into the sessile base. Dichasia with central flower typically staminate, lateral pistillate, usually 2 per axil. Berries ellipsoid, c. 3 mm long, smooth, forming a pedicel at maturity up to 1.5 mm long; style persistent.
