Agelanthus rondensis is a species of hemiparasitic plant in the Loranthaceae family. It is endemic to Tanzania[3][1].
This species has been found only on the Rondo plateau in Tanzania where the threat is from conversion of habitat for agriculture[1]. There is a continuing decline in the extent and quality of habitat. This species has not been seen since its discovery in 1903 in what is a well-surveyed region. Thus, it is possibly extinct[1].
No information is available on habitat or host preference[1].
