Amyema miquelii, commonly known as the Stalked Mistletoe and the Box Mistletoe.
Amyema miquelii (Stalked Mistletoe).. miquelianus, in honour of Friedrik Miquel of Amsterdam botanical garden and professor of botany at Utrecht. The seeds are spread by the Mistletoe bird (Dicaeum hirundinaceum), birdy eats the fruit and then either wipes the sticky remains from its beak or when defecating has to wipe it from its feathers onto a twig due to the sticky nature of the seed. The seed then germinates and soon penetrates the vascular system of the tree and creates a connection with the new host receiving water and mineral nutrients. February 2025, Stirling Range National Park, Western Australia.
