|discussion=<p><i>Phoradendron juniperinum</i> is often classified as having two subspecies, subspp. juniperinum and libocedri. Subspecies juniperinum is found throughout the species' range as globose infections on various species of <i>Juniperus</i>. The larger, pendent parasites of <i>Calocedrus</i> from California have been recognized as subsp. libocedri. J. Kuijt (2003) argued that this habit could be a host response because intermediate morphologies are known; the two taxa are not recognized here.</p>
