Remarks
Gender: van Tieghmen assigned feminine gender to this genus; Barlow (in Blumea 36(2): 298. 1992) followed van Tieghem. However, Nicolson (in Taxon 43: 104. 1994) assigned neuter gender.; NCU-3 also assigns neuter Etymology: Greek a = without, and myeo = to learn a mystery; probably alluding to non-availability of comprehensive account for the genus at the time of its publication [van Tieghem (p. 507) mentioned “… le genre Amyema comprend actuellement un assez grand nombre d'especes, dont la plupart ont ete deja decrites comme Loranthus et dont quelques-unes n'ont pas encore ete etudiees ni nominees”]
