Arceuthobium azoricum
Azores dwarf mistletoe is a small hemiparasitic plant endemic to the central Azores, where it grows on the Azorean juniper (Juniperus brevifolia). It is not grown as a garden or houseplant, so care in cultivation is not practical.
Arceuthobium azoricum (Portuguese: espigos-de-cedro) is a species of dwarf mistletoe endemic to the Azores. The population is restricted to the Grupo Central (central group) of the archipelago on Faial, Pico, São Jorge and Terceira islands. It is a parasitic plant of the local Juniperus brevifolia.
