Dear All,
This epiphytic plant was found on wayside on Kalka-Shimla Highway near
Solan. I suppose this to be Dendrophthoe falcata. Kindly validate.
Thanks

Does look like Dendrophthoe falcata (L.f) Ettingsh.
Thanks a lot for sharing this beautiful parasitic epiphyte.
Pollination and seed doespersal takes place in this taxa by birds.

I also think it is D. falcata.
D. glabrescens seems to be an Australian species. http://www.eol.org/pages/5605913
