About Alepis flavida (Hook.fil.) Tiegh.
Alepis is a monotypic genus of flowering plants in the family Loranthaceae, meaning it contains only one species: Alepis flavida. This mistletoe species produces yellow, erect flowers that have tall orange anthers. It was first published and described in 1852 by Joseph Dalton Hooker under the name Loranthus flavidus. In 1894, Philippe Édouard Léon Van Tieghem reclassified the species, moving it into the separate genus Alepis to create its current accepted scientific name, Alepis flavida (Hook.fil.) Tiegh. The species is native to New Zealand.
