- Arceuthobium verticilliflorum
- Photo Carpellate plants
with immature fruits. The seeds of this species are so large
that they are not explosively dehisced as is the case with all
other dwarf mistletoes. Molecular phylogenetic work shows that
this is a secondary loss (i.e. this taxon is not ancestral to
all other species in the genus). The white things on the middle
plant are scale insects. Durango, Mexico. [DLN 2065]. Photo by

into P. longifolium. Does this photo thus represent autoparasitism?

taxa are distinctive, but more work is needed! Photo by D. L.
