viscum album
Viscum Album, also known as European Mistletoe or Common Mistletoe, is a species of mistletoe in the family Santalaceae, native to Europe and western and southern Asia. It is a hemiparasitic plant, which grows on the branches of a range of host trees, absorbing minerals and water through a structure in its roots called a haustorium. It is best known for its role in Christmas traditions, but it is also used in herbal medicine. The plant produces white berries, which may be toxic if ingested.
