Note: The mistletoe of the United States is
Phoradendron serotinum
(syn.
Phoradendron flavescens), having
broader leaves than the European kind. In different
regions various similar plants are called by this name.
The mistletoe is used as a decoration at Christmas
time, and it is a tradition that two persons of the
oposite sex finding each other under a mistletoe sprig
should kiss.
