Amyema bifurcata is an epiphytic, flowering, hemiparasitic plant of the family Loranthaceae native to Australia and found in Western Australia, the Northern Territory, Queensland and New South Wales.[4][5]

Its inflorescence is an umbel of two or more pairs of flowers, which have rusty corollas covered with dense intertwined hairs.[4] The fruit is globular, and the bract enlarges under the fruit.[4] The leaves are flat.[4]
Ecology
Amyema bifurcata is found on some 22 Eucalypt species, five Angophora species, on Acacia acuminata and on Nitraria billardierei.[6]
Taxonomy
It was first described by Bentham in 1867 as Loranthus bifurcatus,[1][7] with its genus being changed to Amyema by Tieghem in 1894.[2]
