Amyema sanguinea is an aerial hemiparasitic shrub within the genus Amyema, in the family Loranthaceae^[4]^[5] and native to Australia, where it is found in New South Wales, Queensland, the Northern Territory, South Australia and Western Australia.^[6]

Description

Its leaves are flat and opposite (sometimes appearing alternate).^[7] Its inflorescence is a simple umbel with 3-6 flowers, on a stem.^[7] Flowering from January to December, its erect flowers^[8] shade from pinky-red to an orange-red.^[5] The yellow stamens do not project beyond the corolla.^[8] The mature buds have six ribs.^[8]

Ecology

A. sanguinea is usually found on eucalypts, but is sometimes found on Melaleucas or Acacias.^[5] Downey's list of hosts gives 33 eucalyptus hosts.^[9] It is used by at least seven species of moths and butterflies (Delias argenthona, Candalides margarita gilberti, Hippochrysops digglesii, Ogyris amaryllis meridionalis, Ogyris iphis doddi, Ogyris zosine and Comocrus behri).^[8]

Taxonomy

A. sanguinea was first described by Ferdinand von Mueller as Loranthus sanguineus in 1859.^[10] Danser, in 1929, allocated the species to the genus, Amyema in 1929.^[2]
