See text Psittacanthus, also parrot-flower, is a plant genus in the family Loranthaceae.

[3] Psittacanthus is dispersed by birds feeding on fruits and defecating on branches.

[3] A five-year study of Psittacanthus calyculatus on Pinus gordoniana found that only five months after the sticky seed has inoculated the host tree, are the first true leaves produced.

The long life cycle means that infestations may be relatively easily controlled when trees are to be harvested for forestry.
