Phoradendron pauciflorum is a species of flowering plant in the sandalwood family known by the common name fir mistletoe.

[1] This mistletoe is a parasitic plant on its single known host tree, the white fir (Abies concolor).

Its stems are lined with pairs of small, oppositely arranged leaves with widely lance-shaped blades up to 2.5 centimeters long.

[1] As a hemiparasite, the mistletoe taps its host tree for water and nutrients but contains some chlorophyll and can photosynthesize some energy for itself as well.

Female flowers yield yellowish to light pink spherical berries each about 4 millimeters wide.
