Photos. Plant with young fruits. Madagascar. Razakamalala 7647. Listed as V. triflorum, but according to Halle (1964), this species does not occur on Madagascar but on the neighboring Comoros islands. This could be V. tsaifajaonense. Link goes to TROPICOS.
Photos. Close-up of inflorescence showing a male flower and young fruit. Because this plant is monoecious, it cannot be V. multiflorum as identified. The smooth fruit and what appears to be subcylindric stems places this (again) near V. tsaifajaonense. Madagascar. P. Antilahimena - 6129. Link goes to TROPICOS.
Given that about one fourth of the ca. 120 species of Viscum occur in Madagascar, this country represents the second most diverse landmass following continental Africa for species diversity. Halle (1964) provided a treatment for Viscum (under Loranthaceae) wherein 31 species were recognized. I translated her key from French to English and it is available HERE as a pdf file.
