Plicosepalus Sagittifolius
''Plicosepalus sagittifolius'' is a woody, photosynthesising, parasitic plant species that grows on the branches of mostly ''Acacia''-species, by means of tapping roots. It has glaucus, leathery, entire, 1–6 cm long leaves set oppositely along the stem, with umbels of initially long up-curved pale greenish-yellow buds, that open explosively, the petals usually bright yellow, strongly curling, long stamens and style clear red, orange or pink, and quickly falling after fertilisation. The initially green oval berries color red when ripe. The species is assigned to the showy mistletoe family. In the Afar language it is called hatote, while the vernacular name in the Oromo language is dertu dedacha. Description ''Plicosepalus sagittifolius'' is a small hemiparasitic shrub of around 1 m in diameter, that grows on the branches of different ''Acacia''-species, sometimes on ''Albizia'' and ''Commiphora''. It has eighteen chromosomes (2n=18). The species is closely rel ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Plicosepalus Acaciae
''Plicosepalus acaciae'' (syn. ''Loranthus acaciae''), the acacia strap flower, is a species of hemiparasitic flowering plant in the family Loranthaceae. It is native to northeastern Africa, the Levant, and the Arabian Peninsula. As its common and scientific names suggest, it parasitizes acacias; '' Vachellia tortilis'' subsp. ''raddiana'' (formerly ''Acacia raddiana'') and ''V. t.'' subsp. ''tortilis'' (formerly ''A. tortilis''). It seeds are dispersed by the white-spectacled bulbul (''Pycnonotus xanthopygos The white-spectacled bulbul (''Pycnonotus xanthopygos'') is a member of the bulbul family.

Loranthaceae
Loranthaceae, commonly known as the showy mistletoes, is a family of flowering plants. It consists of about 75 genera and 1,000 species of woody plants, many of them hemiparasites. The three terrestrial species are '' Nuytsia floribunda'' (the Western Australian Christmas tree), '' Atkinsonia ligustrina'' (from the Blue Mountains of Australia), and ''Gaiadendron punctatum'' (from Central/South America.) Loranthaceae are primarily xylem parasites, but their haustoria may sometimes tap the phloem, while ''Tristerix aphyllus'' is almost holoparasitic. For a more complete description of the Australian Loranthaceae, seFlora of Australia online, for the Malesian Loranthaceae seFlora of Malesia Originally, Loranthaceae contained all mistletoe species, but the mistletoes of Europe and North America ('' Viscum'', ''Arceuthobium'', and '' Phoradendron'') belong to the family Santalaceae. The APG II system 2003 assigns the family to the order Santalales in the clade core eudicots. P ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
