  亚灌木,高0.3-0.5米,直立或披散,茎基部近圆柱状,枝和小枝均扁平;枝交叉对生或二歧地分枝,节间长1.5-2.5厘米,宽2-3毫米,稀长3-4厘米,宽3.5毫米,干后边缘薄,具纵肋3条,中肋明显。叶退化呈鳞片状。聚伞花序,1-3个腋生,总花梗几无,总苞舟形,长约1.5毫米,具花3-1朵,中央1朵为雌花,侧生的为雄花,通常仅具1朵雌花或1朵雄花;雄花:花蕾时球形,长0.5-1毫米,萼片4枚;花药圆形,贴生于萼片下半部;雌花:花蕾时椭圆状,长1-1.5毫米,基部具环状苞片;花托卵球形;萼片4枚,三角形,长约0.5毫米;柱头垫状。果球形,直径3-4毫米,白色或青白色,果皮平滑。花果期几全年。
  产于云南、广西、广东。海拔50-1200(-1700)米沿海平原或山地南亚热带季雨林中,常寄生于桑寄生科的鞘花、五蕊寄生、广寄生、小叶梨果寄生等的茎上,也寄生于壳斗科、大戟科、樟科、檀香科植物上。亚洲南部和东南部各国、大洋洲热带地区均有分布。模式标本采自印度尼西亚。
  据在广东鼎湖山及罗浮山观察,本种除以重寄生形式寄生于鞘花或广寄生外,也直接寄生于罗浮椎、秋枫等植物上。

Viscum articulatum  N. L. Burman
扁枝槲寄生   bian zhi hu ji sheng
Aspidixia articulata (N. L. Burmann) Tieghem; Viscum articulatum var. dichotomum (D. Don) Kurz; V. dichotomum D. Don (1825), not Bertero ex Sprengel (1824); V. nepalense Sprengel.
Subshrubs often epiparasitic, monoecious, usually becoming pendulous, green, 20-50 cm tall. Branches opposite and decussate or dichotomous, flattened; internodes 1.5-2.5(-4) cm × 2-3(-3.5) mm, longitudinally 3-ridged. Leaves reduced to pairs of ± scarious scales. Inflorescences axillary, cymes 1-3 together; peduncle ± absent; 3-flowered, central flower female, lateral flowers male and often lacking; bracts 2, coalescent, forming a navicular involucre, ca. 1.5 mm. Male flowers globose in bud, 0.5-1 mm; perianth lobes 4. Female flower ellipsoid in bud, 1-1.5 mm; bract annular; perianth lobes 4, triangular, ca. 0.5 mm. Stigma cushion-shaped. Berry whitish or greenish white, globose, 3-4 mm in diam., smooth, base rounded. Fl. and fr. Jan-Dec.
Forests, plains, mountain slopes; 100-1200(-1700) m. Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan, Yunnan [S and SE Asia, Australia].
The plants are epiparasitic on Dendrophtho? pentandra, Macrosolen cochinchinensis, Scurrula parasitica, and Taxillus chinensis; rarely, they are parasitic on Bischofia javanica and species of Castanopsis, Dendrotrophe, and Lauraceae.

This species is recognized here in a rather wide sense for all plants without normal leaves and with distinctly flattened internodes, and globose, greenish white berries, including plants differing widely in stem width, from forms matching the type of Viscum nepalense with internodes to 12 mm wide, to more typical forms with internodes less than 3.5 mm wide. More detailed study of populations in the field could identify more taxa than are currently recognized.
