Viscum combreticola, the Combretum mistletoe, is a leafless, dioecious mistletoe shrub,[2] occurring from southern to tropical Africa, in a broad zone following the Rift Valleys.

[3] Though it is typically a hemiparasite of Combretum species, it may also be found on Terminalia (Combretaceae), Acacia, Croton, Diplorhynchus, Dombeya, Heteropyxis, Maytenus, Melia, Strychnos or Vangueria.

[1] The much-branched twigs are flattened, ribbed and divided into clear segments.

[4] The brittle olive to olive-green segments exude a watery sap when broken.

[4] They are ellipsoid berries of 6-7 mm in diameter, that are warty when young[1] but smooth and orange when ripe.
