Cyne quadriangula is a hemiparasitic epiphyte in the mistletoe family Loranthaceae, known from low-elevation wet tropical forest in the Philippines. It draws water and nutrients from its host trees, so it is not grown as a garden or houseplant.
Cyne quadriangula is a species of parasitic plant belonging to the family Loranthaceae, and was first described in 1935 by Benedictus Hubertus Danser.
The type specimen having been lost, a new type specimen was given in 2022 by Daniel Nickrent and Mark Rule, together with a redescription, images, and an explanation of the need for a neotype.
