Etymology edit

Amyema derives from the Greek: a (negative), and myeo (I initiate), referring to the genus being previously unrecognised.[3]

Description edit

Hamilton & Barlow describe the haustorial structures of most Australian Amyemas as being ball-like, with some exceptions.[4]

Species edit

There are approximately 90 species including the following:

Faunal associations edit

The mistletoebird is known to consume the fruit of Amyema quandang[5] as well as other mistletoe species from which its name is derived.

Larvae of the butterfly genus Delias often use various Amyema species as larval food plants. In doing so, the adults acquire a taste that is unpalatable to predators.[6]

Uses edit

The fruit of Amyema species is high in protein, lipids, and carbohydrates, and was eaten by the Ngunnawal people.[7]
