"Habitat in Americae meridionalis arboribus vetustis." RCN: 2274.

Lectotype (Gouda in Görts-van Rijn, Fl. Guianas, ser. A, 3: 21. 1987): [icon] "Viscum cariophylloides maximum capitulis in summitate conglomeratis" in Sloane, Voy. Jamaica 1: 189, t. 120. 1707. - Typotype: Herb. Sloane 3: 101 (BM-SL), see pp. 160-162.
