Korthalsella salicornioides or dwarf mistletoe is an endemic parasitic plant in New Zealand.

These appear as a dense mass of small fleshy leafless twigs, up to 10 cm long, usually growing on the host plants manuka (Leptospermum scoparium) and kanuka (Kunzea ericoides).

[2] It is similar to the other two species of New Zealand leafless mistletoe in the genus Korthalsella, but has denser stems arising at a narrower angle.

This species is scattered across forests and scrublands in New Zealand, only abundant in small local patches.

[3] In some areas it is threatened by felling of Leptospermum and Kunzea for firewood, farming, or exotic forestry.
