Amyema benthamii, commonly known as the twin-leaved mistletoe or Bentham's mistletoe, is a species of flowering plant, an epiphytic hemiparasitic plant of the family Loranthaceae native to Western Australia and the Northern Territory of Australia in semi-arid woodland.[1] This species is named in honour of the English botanist George Bentham who between 1863 and 1878 published Flora Australiensis, the first flora of Australia.[2]

Description

This mistletoe has slender stems with opposite pairs of sessile (unstalked), semi-clasping, bluish-green leaves about Шаблон:Convert long. The flowers, which have reddish-brown stalks, are borne in the axils of the leaves in dangling groups of three; the buds are reddish-purple with green bases and tips, and open to reveal pale green petals and a projecting boss of stamens. It has a sparse, open habit of growth.[2]

Taxonomy

The species was first described in 1922 as Loranthus benthamii by William Blakely,[3][4] but was reassigned to the genus, Amyema, by Benedictus Hubertus Danser in 1929.[5][6]

Ecology

A. benthamii has been recorded as growing on thirty-one different species of host plant from eighteen different plant families. The most frequently used host is the bottletree (Brachychiton spp.), but other common hosts include Owenia and Acacia.[2]
