Amyema gaudichaudii

Amyema gaudichaudii, commonly known as melaleuca mistletoe,[2] is a plant in the family Loranthaceae endemic to eastern Australia.

[2][3][4]This mistletoe was first formally described in 1830 by Augustin Pyramus de Candolle, who gave it the name Loranthus gaudichaudii and published the description in Prodromus Systematis Naturalis Regni Vegetabilis.

[5][6] In 1895, the French botanist, Philippe Édouard Léon Van Tieghem changed the name to Amyema gaudichaudii.

[7] The specific epithet (gaudichaudii) honours Charles Gaudichaud-Beaupré, the collector of the type specimen.

In Queensland it is found in the western Darling Downs and in New South Wales in coastal areas between the Hunter and Illawarra districts.
