Alepis is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Loranthaceae.[2] It is monotypic, being represented by the single species Alepis flavida.

This mistletoe was first described in 1852 as Loranthus flavidus by Joseph Dalton Hooker,[3][4] but in 1894 Philippe Édouard Léon Van Tieghem transferred it to the genus, Alepis.[2][5]

Its native range is New Zealand.[2]
Conservation status

It is currently (2017) declared "At Risk - Declining" under the New Zealand Threatened species system, with the qualifier C(1) implying that there are greater than 10000 mature individuals with an expected decline of from 10% to 70%, and with an area of occupancy which is less than 10,000 ha which is expected to decline by from 10% to 50%.[1]
