    abstract = {The histochemical studies on the 5 variants of <I>Viscum</I> (A-E) showed important observation that only 3 different types of crystals are present. These are crystal sand, circular and rectangular crystals. Variants A has circular crystals at the leaf and crystal sand at the stem. Variant B has rectangular and circular crystals at the leaf and crystal sand at the stem. Variant C has circular crystals at the leaf and crystal sand at the stem. Variant D has rectangular and circular crystals at the leaf and crystal sand at the stem and finally Variant E has rectangular and circular crystals at the leaf and crystal sand at the stem. The similarities and variations in shapes of these oxalate crystals among the investigated variants of <I>Viscum</I> are discussed in relation to their biosystematic relevance.}
