全球分布屬參見正文桑寄生科包括75属大约1,000余种，基本都是寄生或半寄生灌木，只有三种是独立生长在地上的树—澳洲聖誕樹，Atkinsonia ligustrina（一种生长在澳洲蓝山地区的稀有灌木）和Gaiadendron punctatum（一种生长在中南美洲的植物）。本科植物主要分布在南半球的热带和亚热带地区，中国只有两属共30余种，主要生长在木本植物的茎上，由变态的吸根伸入寄主植物的枝桠中；叶厚、革质；花两性或单性，花瓣和雄蕊同数对生；果实为浆果，依靠鸟类传播。主要寄生在桑树、槐树等树木上。属 Actinanthella Aetanthus Agelanthus Alepis Amyema Amylotheca Atkinsonia Bakerella Baratranthus Benthamina Berhautia Cecarria Cladocolea Cyne Dactyliophora Decaisnina Dendropemon Dendropthoe Desmaria Diplatia Distrianthes 大苞鞘花属 Elytranthe Emelianthe Englerina Erianthemum Gaiadendron Globimetula Helicanthes 离瓣寄生属 Helixanthera Ileostylus Ixocactus Kingella Lampas Lepeostegeres Lepidaria Ligaria 桑寄生属 Loranthus Loxanthera Lysiana 鞘花属 Macrosolen Moquiniella Muellerina Notanthera Nuytsia Oliverella Oncella Oncocalyx Oryctanthus Oryctina Panamanthus Papuanthes Pedistylis Peraxilla Phragmanthera Phthirusa Plicosepalus Psittacanthus 梨果寄生属 Scurrula Septulina Socratina Sogerianthe Spragueanella Struthanthus Tapinanthus 钝果寄生属 Taxillus Tetradyas Thaumasianthes 大苞寄生属 Tolypanthus Trilepidea Tripodanthus Tristerix Trithecanthera Tupeia Vanwykia 在树顶上开花的Psittacanthus属外部链接在L.

Loranthaceae, commonly known as the showy mistletoes, is a family of flowering plants. It consists of about 75 genera and 1,000 species of woody plants, many of them hemiparasites. The three terrestrial species are Nuytsia floribunda (the Western Australian Christmas tree), Atkinsonia ligustrina (from the Blue Mountains of Australia), and Gaiadendron punctatum (from Central/South America) Loranthaceae are primarily xylem parasites, but their haustoria may sometimes tap the phloem, while Tristerix aphyllus is almost holoparasitic. For a more complete description of the Australian Loranthaceae, see Flora of Australia online , for the Malesian Loranthaceae see Flora of Malesia.
