Abstract

Mistletoe is a hemi-parasitic flowering plant. There are five taxa (three genera) in Bosnia and Herzegovina, all of which are native. A wide range of woody species may be infected by mistletoe including some introduced trees. This study reviews the taxonomy, hosts, and distribution of mistletoe in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The hosts of the five mistletoe taxa in Bosnia and Herzegovina belong to 14 families, 26 genera and 58 taxa.
