pairs of flowers and each unit is subtended by bracts and
bracteoles, each up to 1.2 cm long. The corolla color is described
by Danser (1931) as "white or yellowish white, or white with fine
bluish points, or red or violet at the tips of the lobes, or more
rarely entirely reddish."

enclosed pollen to be flung as far as 20 cm. The mechanism is an
evolutionary adaptation to bird pollination. Photo from Visser
(1981).

palmeri, arguably the most remarkable species in the genus,
exhibits several unique morphological features." Vegetatively, its
stems resemble those of its host (Bursera) and occur as
long and short shoots. It may flower in the leafless state (not the
case on these photos); a seasonally deciduous nature remains to be
confirmed.

(1998), mainly because these flowers, with their non-reflexing
lobes, seem less specialized than Asian species.

the cotyledons are fused at their tips inside the seed but
their petioles are free outside the seed. This is true for most of
the seedlings shown, except for the one in the middle where the
petioles are fused, as is seen in T.
aphyllus. Is this demonstrating segregation for this
trait? Photo by Wilfredo Gonzáles Lozada.

Woodroses from loranths
- The haustoria of Loranthaceae often produce characteristic attachments
to their host branches. The haustorium of the parasite induces the
formation of a placenta-like expansion of the host wood. When the
soft parts of the haustorium are removed, the flared woodrose remains.
- Woodroses. These are what the
haustorial connections look like when simply removed and
dried. Clockwise from top left: Dendrophthoe curvata
[DLN 2787], Amyema villiflorum [DLN 2799], Dendrophthoe
curvata [DLN S.N.], and Erianthemum sp.
- Woodroses are often made into art objects in many parts of the
neo- and paleotropics. Here are some examples:
- Carving of a lizard from SE
Asia.
- Carving of a lizard with an
umbrella, also made from a woodrose. These woodroses are
produced on the island of Bali where host trees (Melia,
chinaberry) are puposely infected with mistletoe seeds to begin the
infection. There are many commercial web sites selling these art
objects that go by other names such as wood rose, mistletoe wood,
parasite wood, or Baliwood (!).
- Photo from Kuijt (1969,
figure 7-12a) showing a carved head from Mexico with three
woodroses, possibly from a Psittacanthus
species.

Australia. Note the mistletoe seed attached to the perch. Photo from
David Attenborough's book "The Private Life of Plants."
- digestive cannal and crop (left)
that is highly adapted for mistletoe seeds. The tongue (right) is curled
inward, an adaptation to feeding on the nectar from mistletoe flowers.

These pages have been assembled from available literature and photographs
for loranths of that region.
Phylogeny
A detailed molecular phylogeny of genera within the family has been
published in American Journal of Botany (Vidal-Russell and Nickrent 2008)
and can be viewed HERE.
A study that examined the timing of evolution of aerial parasites
(including Loranthaceae) was published in Molecular Phylogenetics and
Evolution (Vidal-Russell and Nickrent 2008) and can be viewed HERE.
A molecular phylogeny of the entire order Santalales, with good sampling
of Loranthaceae, was published in Taxon (Su et al. 2015) and can be viewed
HERE.
A biogeographic study of the family was published by Liu et al. (2018)
and it can be viewed HERE.
