  Mistletoe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.
The name was originally applied to Viscum album (European Mistletoe, Santalaceae; the only species native in Great Britain and much of Europe), and subsequently to other related species, including Phoradendron leucarpum (the Eastern Mistletoe of eastern North America, also Santalaceae).
Most mistletoes are only partial parasites, bearing evergreen leaves that carry out some photosynthesis of their own, relying on the host mainly for mineral nutrients from the ground.

 Santalaceae - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Santalaceae is a widely distributed family of plants which, like other members of Santalales, are partially parasitic on other plants.

 Santalum acuminatum - Growing Native Plants
Santalum acuminatum belongs to the Santalaceae family along with the Sandalwood (Santalum album) and Native Cherries (Exocarpos spp.).
This means that the plant is partially parasitic and relies on host plants for only water and soil nutrients, not for sugars, which is why such parasites have green leaves.

Exocarpos cupressiformis is a member of the Santalaceae family, along with Sandalwoods and the Quandong, a tree of arid Australia with the edible fruits of some commercial potential.
Exocarpos is a root parasite as are many members of the Santalaceae family.
The roots develop a specialized organ called a haustorium which grows out from the root and attaches by means of suckers to the roots of nearby host plants.
