Arceuthobium

/ˌɑːrsuːˈθoʊbiəm/ noun

Definition

A genus of parasitic plants that live on conifer trees and extract nutrients from their branches.

Etymology

From Greek 'arkeuos' (a type of juniper tree) combined with 'bios' meaning 'life'. The name literally means 'life of the juniper', referencing where these parasites were first observed.

Kelly Says

Dwarf mistletoe (Arceuthobium) is like nature's vampire—it pierces tree bark and feeds on the tree's sap, and some species have evolved to explosively launch their seeds up to 50 feet away to infect new hosts.
