Amyema cambagei
Needle Leaf Mistletoe (Amyema cambagei), also called sheoak mistletoe, is a native Australian hemiparasite that grows on casuarina and allocasuarina trees, drawing water and nutrients from its host. It is not grown as a garden or houseplant, so care advice mainly concerns its host tree.
Amyema cambagei, commonly known as sheoak mistletoe, is a species of flowering plant, an epiphytic hemiparasitic plant of the family Loranthaceae endemic to Australia, and found in New South Wales and Queensland in sclerophyll forest and woodland on several species of Casuarinaceae.
A. cambagei is found on Casuarina & Allocasuarina spp., mimicking the leaves of the host.
