family)....

Dear Tabish Ji,
You are right this is indeed a member of Loranthaceae . I think this is Amyema sp ... There is good possibility of this being Amyema melaleucae(Miq.) Tiegh.Bull.Soc.Bot.France 42:84 (1895). The plant is hemiparasitic on stem.

Regards
Tanay

Isn't this Vine Fuchsia or Peruvian Berrybush?

Perhaps yes, finally identified as "The plant is Fuchsia boliviana Carr., A South American plant, widely
cultivated in Tropics".

Appears more closer to images at Fuchsia corymbiflora Ruiz & Pav. rather than those of Fuchsia boliviana at strange wonderful things, Wikipedia Dave’s Garden
