    About this ebook

    The Singapore Mistletoe Story is an account of a personal quest to seek out and document the varieties and lives of a little-known group of plants - the mistletoes. It is a journey of discovery of the many fascinating features of this enduring species - their semi-parasitic nature, where they are found, how they reproduce and the myriad remarkable communities whose lives have become intertwined with it.
    The author's numerous mistletoe-spotting adventures present an infectious read, and are sure to inspire the curious gardener that dwells inside each one of us.
    Lavishly illustrated with nearly a hundred pictures, this volume is like a botanical novel. Gardeners, field botanists, teachers and students will find it a valuable and fruitful addition to their collection.
