Leafy monoecious small yellow-green globose shrubby clusters up to 50 cm. high; internodes of distal branches somewhat flattened and delicate, 6-ribbed, (10–)15–20(–25) mm. long, 1–1.5 mm. wide; older branches rounded.. Leaves rather variable, obovate-elliptic, 18–25(–30) mm. long, 8–13 mm. wide, rounded-obtuse apically, basally cuneate, conspicuously 3(–5)-nerved from the base, relatively thin and less coriaceous than in many species of Viscum, margin often somewhat crisped; petiole indistinct, ± 3 mm. long.. Bracteal cups narrowly pedunculate, 2–3 mm. long, up to 0.5 mm. in diameter.. Dichasia with the central flower staminate and the lateral flowers pistillate, or with all the flowers of the same sex, solitary in the axils.. Style present, but minute; stigma not expanded.. Berries ellipsoid-globose, 4–5 mm. high, smooth, white, ± sessile; tepals (at least some) persistent in fruit, tepalar ring-scar 0.5–1 mm. in diameter.. Fig. 3/1–6 (p. 8).
Leafy, monoecious, small, yellow-green, globose clusters <0.5 m high; internodes of distal branches somewhat flattened and delicate, 6-ribbed, (10)15-20(25) x 1-1.5 mm, older branches rounded. Leaves rather variable, 18-25(30) x 8-13 mm, obovate-elliptic, rounded to obtuse apically, basally cuneate, conspicuously 3(5)-nerved from the base, relatively thin and less coriaceous than many species of the genus, margin often somewhat crisped; petiole indistinct (c. 3 mm long). Bracteal cups narrowly pedunculate, 2-3 x <0.5 mm. Dichasia with the central flower staminate and the lateral flowers pistillate, or with all the flowers of the same sex, solitary in the axils. Style present, but minute; stigma not expanded. Berries white, ± sessile, 4-5 mm in diameter, ellipsoid-globose, smooth. Perianth segments (at least some) persistent in fruit; ring scar left by perianth 0.5-1 mm in diameter.
Leafy, monoecious, small, often globose, hemiparasitic shrub, 0.3-0.5 m high, yellow-green; internodes somewhat flattened and delicate, 6-ribbed; older branches rounded. Leaves obovate-elliptic or very variable, relatively thin, not very coriaceous, conspicuously 3(-5)-nerved from base, margins often crisped. Dichasia with central flower staminate, lateral ones pistillate, or often with all flowers of the same gender, in axils, with a narrow stalk. Flowering time Mar., but possibly sporadic throughout year. Fruit an essentially sessile, ellipsoid-globose berry, white, smooth; sepals and style persistent.
Leaves rather variable, 18–25(30) × 8–13 mm, obovate-elliptic, rounded to obtuse apically, basally cuneate, conspicuously 3(5)-nerved from the base, relatively thin and less coriaceous than many species of the genus, margin often somewhat crisped; petiole indistinct (c. 3 mm long).
Leafy, monoecious shrub, up to 500 mm tall, parasitic on species of Rapanea, Cassipourea and Syzygium. Leaves yellowish green, thin, usually with an undulate margin, distinctly petiolate. Berries smooth, sessile-subsessile, white at maturity. Flowers greenish yellow.

A mistletoe parasite that grows on other plants. It forms round clusters 30-50 cm tall. Young branches are slightly flattened and has 6 ribs. The leaves are variable.
Dichasia with the central flower staminate and the lateral flowers pistillate, or with all the flowers of the same sex, solitary in the axils.

Berries white, ± sessile, 4–5 mm in diameter, ellipsoid-globose, smooth.
Bracteal cups narrowly pedunculate, 2–3 × 0.5 mm.
Style present, but minute; stigma not expanded.
