	Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew: Loranthaceae
		The aerial stem-parasites commonly known as mistletoes belong to several families, of which the major ones are Loranthaceae and Viscaceae.
		This penetrates the host to connect with its sap stream to permit further growth of the seedling; secondary haustoria are sometimes produced on runners spreading over the host-branches, as seen in Plicosepalus and Vanwykia.
		Two genera, Helixanthera and Taxillus, occur both in Asia and Africa, but the other 21 genera now recognised in Africa, Arabia and Madagascar are all restricted to the region and seem to have undergone most of their radiation there.

	MISTLETOE FACTS AND INFORMATION (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Mistletoe is the common name for various parasitic plants of the families Santalaceae (in the section of the family formerly separated as Viscaceae) and Loranthaceae.
		In an example of convergent_evolution, several less related but superficially very similar plants in the Loranthaceae are also so similar that they have also been called mistletoes.
		The European Mistletoe is readily recognised by its smooth-edged oval leaves in pairs along the woody stem, and waxy white berries in dense clusters of 2-6 together.

		However, three genera of Loranthaceae are actually root parasites, and have been shown to be the most primitive in the family.
		Four genera of Loranthaceae (Agelanthus, Englerina, Globimetula, and Tapinanthus) are particularly damaging to the shea butter or karité tree (Vitellaria paradoxa, Sapotaceae) in Burkina Faso.
		Loranthaceae are unique among angiosperms in having an "aggressive" embryo sac which actually grows out of the ovule into the ovary and even into the style in some species.

	Santalales
		Within the Loranthaceae subclade, Misodendraceae are often sister to the remainder, especially in analyses that include many taxa, although when the number of taxa is reduced they may be sister to Schoepfia in particular (Malécot 2002, see also Nickrent et al.
		Misodendraceae + Loranthaceae + Schoepfiaceae + Opiliaceae + Santalaceae: guard cells not lignified; G not septate, ovules ategmic; testa 0; endosperm oily, starch 0.
		Loranthaceae and Viscaceae (here included in Santalaceae) have often been considered to be close, even being put in a single family, but there are numerous features separating the two; Kuijt (1969), Raj (1970) and Polhill and Wiens (1998) provide useful tables of differences, and see also Santalaceae here.

		In traditional taxonomy, all mistletoes were placed in the Loranthaceae - a name conjugated from the Latin lorum, a thong or strap, and the Greek anthos, a flower (9).
		Pliny said mistletoe was a cure for sterility and epilepsy, but to be effective it must not be allowed to touch the ground (12); presumably he perceived the plant as charged with divine curative powers which could easily be discharged through casual handling.
		Worldwide, mistletoe is represented by about 900 species in 65 genera of Loranthaceae, and 400 species in 7 genera of Viscaceae (3).

		All New Zealand mistletoes belong to Loranthaceae or Viscaceae.
		The beech mistletoes belong to the family Loranthaceae and they have hermaphroditic, bird-pollinated flowers (see Pollination Research).
		The green mistletoes also belong to the family Loranthaceae, but unlike their beech mistletoe cousins, they have small (2-5 mm), greenish-yellow flowers and are pollinated by insects like bees and flies.

		They undertake photosynthesis to produce organic matter, but derive water and mineral nutrients from their host.
		Australian mistletoes belong to the families Loranthaceae and Viscaceae.
		There are 85 species of Australian mistletoe mainly in the Loranthaceae which includes 950 species worldwide (14 of those 85 are in Viscaceae making a combined total of 1350 species).

	Welcome to The Mistletoe Center
		Although the broad scope of this effort includes information on mistletoes of both the Loranthaceae and Viscaceae around the world, my own experience is with the ecology and pathology of Arceuthobium and Phoradendron in western North America.
		Tribute goes to Frank G. Hawksworth who dedicated his life to the simple but elegant question: "What is mistletoe?" Thanks goes to the many taxonomists, plant pathologists, ecologists, and others who support this site by their contributions and through links to their sites.
		This is a directory of researchers, extension specialists, and others who have provided their name, affiliation, address, phone, and interests to facilitate communications among those interested in mistletoes.

		This group of plants, according to the treatment adopted in this volume, comprise 280 species in 24 genera (233 species in 21 genera of Loranthaceae and 47 species in three genera of the Viscaceae).
		Neither family is centred in Africa (with only about 24% of Loranthaceae and 10% of Viscaceae occurring here), but many species are widespread, and some have economic importance, mainly negatively - as pests of plantation crops - but also positively - as importance sources of medicine (especially in West Africa).
		Two thirds of the pages in the book are devoted to thorough descriptions of the species, including taxonomic keys for distinguishing between the two families, and identifying genera and species.

Tieghem, Trilepidea adamsii (Cheeseman) Tieghem, Tupeia antarctica (Forster f.) Cham, et Schldl., and Ileostylus micranthus (Hook, f.) Tieghem, is described.
		Anatomical differences occur between the five genera and between Peraxilla colensoi and P. tetrapetala.
