Misodendron is placed in its own family, Misodendraceae, in the order Santalales. The family has been recognized by many taxonomists, including the APG II system (2003; unchanged from the APG system of 1998), which assigns it to the Santalales in the clade core eudicots. In biological classification, family (Latin: familia, plural familiae) is 1) a rank or 2) a taxon in that rank. ...

Misodendraceae + Loranthaceae + Schoepfiaceae + Opiliaceae + Santalaceae: guard cells not lignified; G not septate, ovules ategmic; testa 0; endosperm oily, starch 0.

Misodendraceae are stem parasites (their hosts are Nothofagaceae) that are recognizable by their stems, which are often thick, even when young, "giving the leafy species a rather elephantine appearance" (Kuijt 1969, p.
