\n<\/b>It is a stem parasitic plant. Plants come under the family Loranthaceae<\/i> (mistletoe family) are hemi-parasites. They take food from the host trees by means of penetrating roots called the haustoria. They take non-synthesized food, minerals and water as well hence they possess green leaves<\/span>.
\n.<\/span>
\n<\/span>The seed dispersal is by birds, mainly Flowerpeckers. The seeds in the bird fecal matter get attached to the branches with the help of non digestive gummy mucilage around the seed. Thus it get attached to the branch and germinate in the bark.
\n.<\/span>
\n<\/span>This plant with red flowers used to be called D. falcata<\/i> var coccinea<\/i><\/span> and the plant with greenish white flowers used to be called<\/span> D. falcata<\/i> var <\/span>falcata<\/i>.

HELP REQUIRED – DENDROPHTHOE FALCATA<\/a>:\u00a0I want to grow the following plant without mango tree,\u00a0on soil. it is required for my butterfly garden. i don’t have a mango tree at my garden, then how to grow the same on the soil ?<\/div>\n
help me to prepare required soil for it ? can it be grown on guava tree?<\/div>\n
DENDROPHTHOE FALCATA<\/i> (L. f.) Ett. Loranthus falcatus<\/i> L.f.,\u00a0\u00a0Loranthus longiflours<\/i> Desr.Family: Loranthaceae
\n<\/i>Bengali\/vernacular name: <\/span>Bara Manda, Bandha, Pharulla.
\n<\/b>Tribal name: <\/span>Porsal<\/b> (Chakma), <\/span>Alikhowng<\/b> (Khumi)<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n
Another best host tree for this species is Melia azedarach<\/i>, you can try with this.<\/div>\n
\n

The plant is a partial parasite and can not be grown in soil.<\/span> It can not grow on even a guava tree because it needs cracked bark to hold and penetrate in to the rind. It can be made to grow on Bottle Brush, Cork Tree, Parijatak<\/b>, Acacias<\/i> and many other trees. <\/span>Give an account of all the trees in your garden to choose a suitable one. You can just pick ripe berries from under the Dendrophthoe plant and purge them to attach the sticky seed on to the bark. You can also collect such seeds ejected by the Flowerpeckers from their favourite perches. Wish you good luck.<\/p>\n

\n

As … mentioned, we cant grow this species in soil as this is a hemi-parasite.
\n<\/span>The seed dispersal is by birds, mainly Flowerpeckers. The seeds in the bird fecal matter get attached to the branches with the help of non digestive gummy mucilage around the seed. Thus it get attached to the branch and germinate in the bark.<\/span> I doubt whether it even germinate in soil.
\nSo far, I haven’t seen any hemi-parasite growing or germinating in soil.
\nI have seen then growing on a wide range of host trees including Jack fruit <\/span>tree<\/span><\/b>. .<\/p>\n

\n
Agree with .. & …. Dendrophthoe falcata<\/i> is a Partial Parasite.
\nSending a few of my photographs. At my farm have it growing on Mohua<\/span><\/b>, Caesalpinia bonduc<\/i> [Sagargota<\/span><\/b>], wild Mango<\/span><\/b> and even on\u00a0Teak.
\nHave recently posted photographs of it\u00a0on Bauhinia racemosa<\/i> [Apta<\/b><\/span>] and they are available at this link :
\nefi thread…<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n
\n<\/div>\n
D falcata<\/i> on Bottle brush Tree<\/span><\/b> from Panipat roadside area.<\/span> This was very near to a Nursery. I have never seen flowering on this parasite in Panipat<\/div>\n
\n

oh! I have Neem Tree …. hope It will work…<\/p>\n

\n

I have LIVE \u00a0Lime, Guava, dwarf firebush, Crepe Jasmine, Coffee Rose<\/b><\/span> (Tabernaemontana divaricata<\/i>) , Basil (Ocimum tenuiflorum<\/i>) , Night- flowering Jasmine (Nyctanthes arbortristis<\/i>) , karabi (oleander<\/i>) plants at my garden & Neem in neighborhood … which will be the most suitable. can they live on dead tree? I have dead betel nut , guava tree also<\/p>\n

\n

Of these listed plants, only Guava<\/span><\/b> and Neem<\/span><\/b> are suitable ones.<\/p>\n

I am very glad to share with you a good news that the canopy research work that I have done in<\/span><\/span> Kalakkad Mundanthurai Tiger Reserve, Tamil Nadu <\/span>has been published as a chapter entitled “Mistletoes in the Wet Forest Canopies: Friends or Foes<\/u>” (Giby Kuriakose, R. Ganesan and M. Soubadra Devi) in “Forest Canopies of South Asia-a glimpse” edited by M Soubadra Devi, T. Ganesh and Amrita Tripathy (2012) published by ATREE, Bangalore. <\/span><\/div>\n
It is not a highly technical research publication. <\/span><\/div>\n
Please find attached herewith the cover page and contents of the book.
\n<\/span>I thank all of you for the constant support that encourages me a lot for such productive works<\/span>.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n

Those who want to buy a copy of the book, please contact Mr.Ramesh at …<\/span>\u00a0At present it is available at ATREE Bangalore office only.<\/span><\/p>\n

We were looking at the pollination ecology and the interaction of Dendrophthoe falcata <\/i>with their host trees that grows in the canopy of KMTR, Tamil Nadu.<\/span> We located a very different form of D. falcata<\/i> (I will upload pictures of this little later) that grows only in the canopy of large trees in KMTR and quite interestingly, we foud that they grow only on two species of host trees (Palaquim ellipticum<\/i> and Ormosia travancorica<\/i>) that grows more than 15m height. We wanted to check whether they do any harm to the host tree since they are host specific in that habitat and co-exist or not. We didn’t look at the medicinal property of the same. But I know that people in Kerala and Tamil Nadu are using some species of the mistletoes as medicinal plant.<\/p>\n

Dendrophthoe falcata, flowers and fruits:<\/a>

\n

Very good set of Pics … Fruits are looking nice<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Fruits have developed nice bright colour, probably for dissemination of seeds by birds. However, flowers seem dull coloured. Here in Pantnagar Uttarakhand flowers are bright red and yellow and bloom in winters, thus attract large numbers of pollinator birds.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n
i have seen the red ones in pantnagar too. the color is very vibrant. all the ones at my place are white.
\n<\/span>but the fruits were startlingly red<\/span><\/div>\n

\nI found these flowers under a very big tree (60 ft), thought these fell from that tree, <\/span>but as i searched the net i found these are something like Loranthus longiflorus<\/i> Desr.<\/p>\n

This is surely Dendrophthoe falcata<\/i>, leaves match with your post<\/span><\/a> –\u00a0 and flowers with\u00a0efi thread<\/span><\/a>.
\nBut it is much more interesting to know about spines on <\/span>Bauhinia<\/i> – <\/span>efi thread<\/span><\/a>! Is it because of this parasite?<\/span><\/div>\n

Negative to your question. Discovered the spines on Apta much before the ant’s nest. Sending a photograph recorded today.<\/p>\n

Is it a parasitic plant? Like Mistletoe not sure
\nExperts can confirm.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\n

Yes it does appear to be Dendropthe falcata<\/i>. A parasite.<\/p>\n

\n

A college text book, “Plant Groups”, informs plants of the family Loranthaceae<\/i> are hemi-parasites<\/span>. It also informs plants are with “sympodial” stems,<\/span> except in Viscum<\/i> which are “dichasial”.<\/p>\n

\n
I have noticed that Dendrophthoe<\/i> is the current accepted name of Loranthus<\/i>. “Bengal Plants” describes a number of species :<\/div>\n

    I wonder which Loranthus<\/i> is this.<\/p>\n

    efi link: \/species\/a—l\/l\/loranthaceae\/dendrophthoe\/dendrophthoe-falcata<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

    \n

    Yes, for me too its a “Dendrophthoe falcata<\/i>” and its a accepted name, the old name of this plant was ‘Loranthus longiflorus’<\/i> !! Family-Loranthaceae<\/i><\/p>\n

    \n

    This plant with red flowers used to be called D. falcata<\/i> var coccinea<\/i> and the plant with greenish white flowers used to be called D. falcata<\/i> var falcata<\/i>. Presently these 2 different looking plants are merged as single D. falcata.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n
