The mistletoe most widely sold in America is Phoradendron flavescens; most popular in Europe is the "true" mistletoe, Viscum album of the related family Viscacceae, which is parasitic especially on apple trees. An American genus ( Arceuthobium ) with several species found along the Pacific coast is parasitic on conifers. The largest genus of the family, Loranthus, is predominantly African.
