Types of Ileostylus

Green mistletoe

Unlike the white-berried mistletoe that hangs above doorways in the festive season green mistletoe (Ileostylus micranthus) has orange or yellow berries. This plant is a partial parasite, taking some of its energy from surrounding plants and trees. The Latin name micranthus is appropriate since it means small-flowered in reference to the plant's small green flowers, where it also got its common name "Green mistletoe."
