[1913 Webster]
Note: The mistletoe of the United States is {Phoradendron
serotinum} (syn. Phoradendron flavescens), having
broader leaves than the European kind. In different
regions various similar plants are called by this name.
The mistletoe is used as a decoration at Christmas
time, and it is a tradition that two persons of the
oposite sex finding each other under a mistletoe sprig
should kiss.
