Amyema fitzgeraldii
Pincushion mistletoe is a hemiparasitic plant that grows attached to host trees and shrubs, drawing water and nutrients from them while photosynthesising itself. It is a native Australian species, so it is not a typical garden plant and is generally left to grow on its host in the wild.
Amyema fitzgeraldii, the pincushion mistletoe, is a species of flowering plant within the genus Amyema, an epiphytic hemiparasitic plant of the family Loranthaceae endemic to Australia, and found in the Northern Territory, South Australia and Western Australia.
