Trilepidea is an extinct monotypic genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Loranthaceae.[4] Its native range was New Zealand.[4] The only species was Trilepidea adamsii, or Adams mistletoe.[1] It was first described in 1880 as Loranthus adamsii and has ever only been collected from a few locations in the North Island. It has been argued that the extinction of this species, vulnerable due to restricted distribution, was caused by interaction of a number of factors, including introduction of an exotic species, in this case the brushtail possum from Australia .[5]
