Viscaceae
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Viscaceae is a family of flowering plants. In past decades, several systems of plant taxonomy recognized this family, notably the 1981 Cronquist system. In this circumscription, the family includes the several genera of mistletoes.
However, the APG II system, of 2003 (unchanged from the APG system), does not recognize the family, treating it as a synonym of Santalaceae.
Genera once treated as belonging to family Viscaceae include:
- Arceuthobium
- Dendrophthora
- Ginalloa
- Korthalsella
- Notothixos
- Phoradendron
- Viscum
