.
Psittacanthus calyculatus, also known as "erva de passerinho," is a type of mistletoe found in the Neotropical region, specifically in Colombia, Mexico, the Mexican Gulf, and Venezuela. This plant belongs to the Loranthaceae family and has hairless, cylindrical branches. Its leaves are opposite and oval or lance-shaped, with no visible veins or petioles. The plant produces groups of three yellow to scarlet flowers with cup-shaped bracts underneath. Its life cycle begins when its fruit is eaten by a bird and the seed is deposited on a suitable branch, leading to infection and growth. It takes about five years for the plant to reach maturity and produce fruit. Psittacanthus calyculatus has been observed to use eleven different conifer hosts and is a food source for at least nineteen bird species. It was first described in 1830 and later assigned to the Psittacanthus genus in 1834. The name "Psittacanthus" comes from the Greek words for "parrot" and "flower," possibly due to its vibrant colors, while "calyculatus" refers to the cup-like structure formed by bracts under the flowers.
