'Viscaceae' is a
family of
flowering plants. In past decades, several
systems of plant taxonomy recognized this family, notably the 1981
Cronquist system. In this circumscription, the family includes the several genera of
mistletoes.
However, the
APG II system, of 2003 (unchanged from the
APG system, does not recognize the family, treating it as a synonym of
Santalaceae.

★ ''

★ ''
Korthalsella''
