Amyema miraculosa, also known as the fleshy mistletoe and the round-leaf mistletoe, is an Australian native mistletoe found in all states except Tasmania. It is a woody, hemiparasitic plant, in the Loranthaceae family, with thick, fleshy leaves with rounded tips and dark red flowers which are carried in groups of three. It forms dense, upright clumps and is often found parasitising other parasitic plants, making it an epiparasite. It has been recorded utilising a total of 41 different species as hosts, however its preferred hosts are from the Santalum family and other Loranthaceae species. Pollination is predominantly via birds and the fruit is dispersed by the mistletoe bird. It was first described in 1845 by Dutch botanist Freidrich Anton Wilhelm Miquel and transferred to Amyema by French botanist Phillipe Édouard Léon Van Teighem in 1895. It is also a host plant for butterflies and their caterpillars.
