Duration: Perennial Nativity: Native Lifeform: Shrub General: Aerial parasitic shrub with shoots 30-60 cm long, glabrous, green with internodes 1-2 cm long. Leaves: Oblanceolate, 1.5-3 cm long, 5-10 mm wide, glabrous. Flowers: Inflorescence with staminate spikes bearing 1-2 fertile segments with 8-12 flowers; pistillate spikes with 1 fertile segment and 2 flowers; flowers usually glabrous. Fruits: Berrylike, white-pinkish, glabrous and about 4 mm in diameter. Ecology: Found on Abies concolor in mixed conifer forests from 7,000-8,500 ft (2134-2591 m); flowers July-August. Notes: Note the inclusion of the former P. bolleanum into this species name, this expanded circumscription has expanded its range. Ethnobotany: Unknown, but other species in the genera have uses. Etymology: Phoradendron is from Greek phor, a thief and dendron, tree-hence tree thief because of its parasitism, while pauciflorum means few flowered. Synonyms: Phoradendron bolleanum subsp. pauciflorum, P. bolleanum var. pauciflorum Editor: SBuckley, 2010
