Abstract: The dwarf mistletoe parasitizing bristlecone pine on the San Francisco Peaks, Arizona is shown to be Arceuthobium microcarpum, instead of A. cyanocarpum as reported previously. The dwarf mistletoe causes serious localized damage, but it is not considered to be a serious threat to the bristlecone pine population.
