Psittacanthus, also parrot-flower, is a plant genus in the family Loranthaceae. It is a type of mistletoe native from central Mexico southwards to Central America and parts of South America.[1]
It differs from most other Loranthaceae genera by its large flowers and bulky haustorial connections to its host, and by its large fruits.[2] Its flowers frequently "light up the host tree in brilliant hues of red or red and yellow".[2]
