Chalon Muellerina myrtifolia, common name myrtle-leaved mistletoe,[4] is a hemiparasitic aerial shrub in the family Loranthaceae.
[5] M. myrtifolia is a rainforest mistletoe with small ovate, sessile leaves with a shiny upper surface and a dull lower surface, and measuring 15–20 mm long.
[4] The inflorescence is a paired umbel which hangs from the foliage on long stalks, with each flower being a long red and yellow or red and white tube with dark, projecting stamens.
[4][6] The oval shaped fruit are a dull green which ripens to a brownish-red, and have a prominent flower-scars.
[1][9] It was redescribed by B.A.Barlow in 1962 as Muellerina myrtifolia, with the current description of the species being that of Barlow in 1984.
