Agelanthus
__NOTOC__ ''Agelanthus'' is a genus of Afrotropical plants in family Loranthaceae. They grow in trees, including Acacia and Combretum species, as hemiparasitic shrubs of varying sizes. The host plant is penetrated by a single haustorium, and the stems typically have swollen, flower-producing nodes. The flowers are often closely clustered ( fascicled) with the five petals (pentamerous) fused into a tube (gamopetalous).Flowers of the closely related genus ''Phragmanthera'' are similar in many respects. The flower may have a swollen base and the tubes open along unilateral, V-shaped splits. The filaments remain spirally rolled inward when the flowers open, while the styles are inconspicuous, slender filaments that are somewhat thickened in the middle. Berries range from pink to orange and red in colour, and are around 1 cm in diameter. The genus was first described by Philippe Édouard Léon Van Tieghem in 1895.

Agelanthus Myrsinifolius
'' Agelanthus myrsinifolius'' is a species of hemiparasitic plant in the family Loranthaceae, which is native to Rwanda, Zaire and Burundi. Description For a brief description see the African Plant database. Habitat and ecology '' A. myrsinifolius'' has been found at altitudes of 1900–3300 m in montane or swamp forests and in heaths. Recorded hosts are ''Myrsine'' and '' Erica mannii'' (at the higher altitudes). Threats At lower altitudes, intense human population pressure means that outside the protected areas, forest is disappearing due to agriculture and logging. At these altitudes, the host, ''Myrsine ''Myrsine'' is a genus of flowering plants in the family Primulaceae. It was formerly placed in the family Myrsinaceae before this was merged into the Primulaceae. It is found nearly worldwide, primarily in tropical and subtropical areas.
