Ein sachgem{\"a}{\ss}er Vergleich von Kraut und Baum vermittelt uns wesentliche Bilder, die Ausgangspunkt f{\"u}r weitere Betrachtungen sein k{\"o}nnen. Hier wird der Versuch unternommen, die Gruppe der Nadelb{\"a}ume in ihrer Eigenart und inneren Variabilit{\"a}t so anzuschauen, dass ein {\guillemotleft}inneres Instrument{\guillemotright} entstehen kann, welches es erm{\"o}glicht, auch das Charakteristische einer einzelnen Art zu erfassen. Daraus ergibt sich die M{\"o}glich keit, die Wirtsbaumfrage der wei{\ss}beerigen Mistel von einem {\guillemotleft}rationellen{\guillemotright} Standpunkt angehen zu k{\"o}nnen.

This article deals with the question of how the being {`}tree{'} can be understood in such a way that evidence can emerge which, for instance, makes it possible to recognise the ecological niche of the European mistletoe (Vis cum album), a plant that could not exist on earth without its particular living host tree. Although trees are plants, they differ from herbaceous plants in many ways. Not only can trees live to great ages compared with other organisms, but also they actively create mountain-like, concrete spaces. From this point of view, the sim ilarity between trees and minerals becomes evident. Therefore, in contrast to herbaceous plants, trees lose their ability to produce impressive flowers. Conifers can be regarded as the most mineral-like group among trees. This article primarily covers the form of the conifer and its variability as well as attempting to achieve a natu ral systematology of the conifers using a phenomenological approach. Single conifer species, especially the two mistletoe hosts pine (Pinus sylvestris) and fir (Abies alba), are judged essentially according to their unique ex pression. This can help towards revealing their curative power.
