Decaisnina signata is a species of flowering plant, an epiphytic hemiparasitic plant of the family Loranthaceae native to Australia.[1] It is found from Cape York to the Kimberleys.[3]

It was first described by Ferdinand von Mueller as Loranthus signatus in 1867 in George Bentham's Flora Australiensis,[1][4] but was assigned to the genus, Decaisnina, by Philippe van Tieghem in 1895.[1][2]
