Phoradendron libocedri

Phoradendron libocedri is a species of flowering plant in the sandalwood family known by the common name incense-cedar mistletoe.

It is native to western North America from Oregon to Baja California, where it grows in forests on its host tree, the California incense-cedar (Calocedrus decurrens).

This mistletoe is a shrub producing greenish erect, hanging, or drooping branches from a woody base where it grows attached to the tree, parasitizing it for water and nutrients.

The plant is dioecious, with male and female individuals producing different forms of inflorescence with knobby flower clusters.

Female flowers yield light pink or yellowish spherical berries each 3 or 4 millimeters wide.
