Viscum rotundifolium, the red-berry mistletoe, is a variable, wide-ranging and monoecious mistletoe of southern Africa.[1] It is a hardy, evergreen hemiparasite with a catholic variety of host plants,[2] including other mistletoes.[3] It may be found from near sea level to 1,950 m.[1] Its fleshy, leathery leaves are dark[2] or pale green and variable in shape, though usually broadly ovate to elliptic.[4] While its creamy-green flowers are small and inconspicuous, the fruit are a brilliant, shiny orange-red colour when ripe.[2] It is similar to V. schaeferi Engl. & K.Krause and V. pauciflorum L.f. with which it may be confused.[1]
