0 an evergreen plant (= one that never loses its leaves) that grows on trees, with small, white fruits and pale yellow flowers. Mistletoe is often used as a Christmas decoration, and it is traditional to kiss someone under it. -- 美洲寄生子属植物；槲寄生枝条（常用作圣诞装饰物，按西方习俗，可以与站在枝条下面的人接吻）
Distribution and dispersal of desert mistletoe is scale-dependent, hierarchically nested.
Birds and neotropical mistletoes: effects on seedling recruitment.
Vascular species were recorded over the whole site and totalled 120 epiphytes, 21 climbers, 3 hemiepiphytes, 5 nomadic vines and 6 mistletoes.
However, this separation is achieved by other birds eating other types of mistletoe fruits.
Observations were made of the way in which birds handled and processed mistletoe seeds.
The diameter of the branch where the seed was deposited was measured, and whether they were deposited onto mistletoe branches or tree branches was recorded.
An example of such postconsumption manipulation of dispersers' behaviour by plants is provided by mistletoes.
The quality of dispersal of mistletoe seeds in this study was greatest when the method of seed disposal by frugivorous birds was regurgitation.
