Lysiana murrayi (or Mulga mistletoe)[3] is an erect or spreading hemi-parasitic shrub in the Loranthaceae (a mistletoe family) which occurs in all mainland states of Australia except Victoria. It has flat narrow leaves (which may sometimes be semi-terete with a channel on the upper surface). The leaves are 2.5–6 cm long, 1–3.5 mm wide, do not have a distinct petiole, and the venation is not visible. The inflorescence is a solitary flower or pair of flowers without a common peduncle. The pedicels are 8–20 mm long, and strongly winged towards the apex. The spreading, membranous bracts are 2–3 mm long, and rounded at the apex. The corolla of the mature bud is usually 18–28 mm long, and white, yellow or pink. The fruit is globose, 7–12 mm long, and pink or red.[4]
It occurs from the Ashburton River in Western Australia, to the Western Plains of New South Wales and Queensland, growing in arid and semi-arid woodland and nearly always on Acacias.[4]

Lysiana murrayi (ou visco mulga )[3] é um arbusto hemiparasitário na família Loranthaceae (família dos viscos) que ocorre em todos os estados continentais da Austrália, excepto em Victoria . Tem folhas estreitas planas que têm de 2,5 a 6 cm de comprimento e de 1 a 3,5 mm de largura. O fruto tem uma forma esférica com 7-12 mm de comprimento e é rosa ou vermelho.[4]
Ocorre do rio Ashburton, na Austrália Ocidental, nas planícies ocidentais de New South Wales e Queensland, crescendo em florestas áridas e semi-áridas e quase sempre em Acacias.[4]
