Agelanthus myrsinifolius is a species of hemiparasitic plant in the family Loranthaceae, which is native to Rwanda, Zaire and Burundi.
[6] A. myrsinifolius has been found at altitudes of 1900–3300 m in montane or swamp forests and in heaths.
[1] Recorded hosts are Myrsine and Erica mannii (at the higher altitudes).
[1] At lower altitudes, intense human population pressure means that outside the protected areas, forest is disappearing due to agriculture and logging.
[1] At the higher altitudes, the heath, Erica mannii, is probably safe.
