About Phoradendron coryae Trel.
Phoradendron coryae, commonly known as Cory's mistletoe or oak mistletoe, is a hemiparasitic plant. It is native to the southwestern United States and northern Mexico, and has been recorded growing in Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, and the Mexican states of Chihuahua, Coahuila, and Sonora. This species most commonly grows on oaks of the Quercus genus, but it has also been found growing on plants from the genera Condalia, Berberis, Vaquelinia, and Sideroxylon. It has larger leaves than most other mistletoes native to this region, with leaves reaching up to 3 centimeters in length. Both its leaves and flowers are covered in fine hairs. Its berries are white, with short hairs surrounding the persistent perianth.
