One species each day (from my backyard)

Here is an Ileostylus micranthus seedling on the Persimmon tree. We have quite a few mistletoe plants growing in our backyard. There was a big one in the big Pittosporum in the middle of the garden which was chopped down a few years ago because it shaded too much of the rest of the garden and the mistletoe came down along with it. I always thought they were the introduced European species, but now that I have photographed one and identified it, I realised that they are a New Zealand native species. It produces orange-yellow berries that are the favourite of the wax-eyes who disperse them onto other trees, such as the persimmon fruit (posted on 29 May 2015) and here on the persimmon tree.
