Viscum rotundifolium male and female florets

A Viscum rotundifolium inflorescence comprises a central male floret flanked by usually a pair of female florets as in the photo, their one-locular ovaries inferior. In the male floret the four white stamens are visible in the cup formed by four perianth segments. The flowers can be regarded as florets given their small size, only about 2 mm in diameter.

The inflorescence grows on a shared peduncle, the female florets having pedicels as well. Outside the perianth there are two fused bracts forming a second, lower cup (Van Rooyen and Van Rooyen, 2019; Vlok and Schutte-Vlok, 2015; Leistner, (Ed.), 2000; iNaturalist).
