This parasitic plant has jointed stems, small leaves and tiny yellow flowers that produce translucent white berries. The fruit is dispersed by birds. The plant is poisonous but is nonetheless used in traditional African medicine, the plant being boiled to make a tea that is used to soothe asthma.[1][2] References1. ^http://www.linnean-online.org/12052/ {{Taxonbar|from=Q7935895}}2. ^[https://archive.is/20130202063820/http://www.sciencedirect.com/science?_ob=ArticleURL&_udi=B6T8D-3T40C1B-9&_user=10&_coverDate=07/31/1998&_rdoc=1&_fmt=high&_orig=search&_origin=search&_sort=d&_docanchor=&view=c&_searchStrId=1570049820&_rerunOrigin=google&_acct=C000050221&_version=1&_urlVersion=0&_userid=10&md5=20835d0a6ba500176369b8de6c35d151&searchtype=a sciencedirect] 5 : Viscum|Parasitic plants|Flora of the Cape Provinces|Flora of Namibia|Plants used in traditional African medicine |
