Etymology ''Amyema'' derives from the Greek: ''a'' (negative), and ''myeo'' (I initiate), referring to the genus being previously unrecognised. Description Hamilton & Barlow describe the haustorial structures of most Australian ''Amyemas'' as being ball-like, with some exceptions. Species There are approximately 90 species including the following: * '' Amyema arthrocaulis'' Barlow * '' Amyema artensis'' (Mont.) Dan. (indigenous to Upolu and Savai'i, known as ''tapuna''.) * '' Amyema benthamii'' (Blakely) Danser * '' Amyema betchei'' (Blakely) Danser * '' Amyema bifurcata'' (Benth.) Tiegh. * '' Amyema biniflora'' Barlow * '' Amyema brassii'' Barlow * '' Amyema brevipes'' (Tiegh.) Danser * '' Amyema cambagei'' (Blakely) Danser * ''Amyema congener'' (Sieber ex Schult. & Schult.f.)

picture info	Amyema Gaudichaudii ''Amyema gaudichaudii'', commonly known as melaleuca mistletoe, is a plant in the family Loranthaceae endemic to eastern Australia. Like other mistletoes, it is a shrubby, woody, aerial hemiparasite plant. It has relatively small, wedge-shaped leaves and small, dark red flowers arranged in groups of three. It only grows on a few species of ''Melaleuca''. Description ''Amyema gaudichaudii'' is a mistletoe with wedge-shaped leaves long, wide, tapering to a petiole long and with a rounded end. The plant is glabrous apart from a few short rust-coloured hairs on the young branches and flower buds. The flowers are arranged in a group of three, the group resembling a candelabra, with a stalk or peduncle long. The flowers on the end have a stalk or pedicel long but the central flower is stalkless. There are four or five dark red petals long with a club-like end. Flowering is mostly in summer and is followed by almost spherical, red fruits about in diameter. Taxonomy and naming ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
	Amyema Bifurcata ''Amyema bifurcata'' is an epiphytic, flowering, hemiparasitic plant of the family Loranthaceae native to Australia and found in Western Australia, the Northern Territory, Queensland and New South Wales. Description Its inflorescence is an umbel of two or more pairs of flowers, which have rusty corollas covered with dense intertwined hairs. The fruit is globular, and the bract enlarges under the fruit. The leaves are flat. Ecology ''Amyema bifurcata'' is found on some 22 ''Eucalypt'' species, five ''Angophora'' species, on ''Acacia acuminata'' and on ''Nitraria billardierei''. Taxonomy It was first described by Bentham in 1867 as ''Loranthus bifurcatus'', with its genus being changed to ''Amyema ''Amyema'' is a genus of semi- parasitic shrubs (mistletoes) which occur in Malesia and Australia.

	Amyema Biniflora ''Amyema biniflora'', the twin-flower mistletoe, is a species of flowering plant within the genus ''Amyema'', an epiphytic hemiparasitic plant of the family Loranthaceae endemic to Queensland, Australia. Type species Type: Endeavour R., Banks & Solander, 1770 (BM, holotype; MEL; NSW). Description ''A. biniflora'' is a pendulous mistletoe, with flat leaves up 15 cm long and 1 cm wide.
