About the family
Loranthaceae…The Loranthaceae are the showy mistletoes, a family of mostly parasitic shrubs that grow on the branches of trees and are especially diverse in the tropics and the Southern Hemisphere. The single remedy listed here, Viscum album (European mistletoe), is its best-known member in homeopathy, though modern classification places that species in the related family Santalaceae.
