Species of mistletoe
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Amyema lisae, is a species of flowering plant, an epiphytic hemiparasitic plant of the family Loranthaceae first discovered in 2017 at Balinsasayao - Twin Lakes Natural Park, in the island of Negros, Philippines.[2] Amyema lisae differs due with verticillate arrangements of leaves and simple umbels in the inflorescences. Its leaves are also relatively[clarification needed] smaller leaves.[3] The 5-merous flowers are tomentose and yellow, making it the only mistletoe species in the Philippines to have a yellow flower.[4]
