Sous-arbrisseau parasite de la famille des Loranthacées. Le gui peut s’installer sur plus d’une centaine d’espèces d’arbres, sur les branches desquels il forme de grosses touffes arrondies qui restent vertes toute l’année [...] Le chêne appartient aux arbres qui, le plus souvent, résistent au gui; en raison de sa rareté, le gui de chêne était considéré par les anciennes civilisations comme sacré. On utilise les feuilles mondées, fraîches ou séchées (avant formation des fruits). Elles ont des propriétés antispasmodiques, diurétiques, purgatives, hypotensives. 2, record 1, French, - gui%20de%20ch%C3%AAne
