Distribution: also Europe to India, Japan, Manchuria and Korea. 



This species seems to grow chiefly on Poplars, Willows and Elms and 

 according to Giraldi also, though rarely, on Quercus. Franchet states 

 that the form with yellow fruit is found chiefly on Populus, that with red 

 fruit on Ulmus. The latter form has been distinguished as var. rubro- 

 aurantiacum Makino (in Tokvo Bot. Mas. xviii. 67 f 19041).

This species of which I have seen no specimen had been identified by 

 Franchet with Viscum articulatum Burm. and by Hemsley and Pritzel with 

 Viscum iavonicum Thunb. now referred to Korthalsella Ovuntia Merrill. 1
