Abstract In spite of marked economical impact on forest timber production, more aspects of yellow mistletoe ( Loranthus europaeus Jacq.) performance remain unknown and can inspire further research. This review comprehences current knowledge on taxonomical classification of this hemi-parasite, anatomy and morphology of its organs, its biological cycle and population ecology, effects on host-tree performance as well as its pharmaceutical potential. Based on it, gaps in the knowledge, particularly those with potential to be applied in management of this species, were outlined
Bošiaková et al. (Thu,) studied this question.
