Wow... in response to both posts! Thanks for pinning down the exact name for "Crab's Claw". I will rename per your recommendation.apache wrote:To verify whether it is really related to mistletoe, all it need to be done is to find a flower of this crab feet thingy, even a dry and pressed one. Compare the flower to the mistletoe flower, they should have very similar structures, if they are related.
