The members of Loranthaceae, generally known as mistletoes, are semiparasitic shrubs (rarely erect terrestrial trees as Nuytsia of Australia) attached to the hosts by the modified roots. They are mostly distributed in the tropics and occasionally in temperate regions. In Bangladesh they are represented by 15 species under 7 genera (Alam 1985). Wide range of hosts of the members of Loranthaceae in the tropics and sub-tropics include a large number of forest and fruit trees and also the plants of ornamental value. Records on the hosts of the members of Loranthaceae are found in the published reports by Alam (1986a, 1986b); Brandis (1906) Cowan and Cowan (1929); Davidar (1980); De (1941); Duthie (1973); Fischer (1907, 1926); Ghosh (1970); Ghosh et al. (1984); Gill and Hawksworth (1961); Greenham and Hawksworth (1964); Haines (1910); Johri and Bhatnagar (1972); Kanjilal et al. (1940); Kulkarni and Srimathi (1988); Mathur (1949); Ommachan and Srivastav (1986); Parker (1956); Rao (1923); Sinclair (1955); Singh (1962) and Singh and Basu Choudhury (1972).
