Nanodeaceae
The Santalaceae, sandalwoods, are a widely distributed family of flowering plants (including small trees, shrubs, perennial herbs, and epiphytic climbersHewson & George t al.br>''Santalaceae'' taxonomy, 1984, pp. 191-194.) which, like other members of Santalales, are partially parasitic on other plants. Its flowers are bisexual or, by abortion ("flower drop"), unisexual.Pilger, R''Santalaceae''(with 17 figures). R. Br. Prodr. Fl. Nov. Holl. (1810) 350, pp. 1-45. Modern treatments of the Santalaceae include the family Viscaceae (mistletoes), previously considered distinct. The APG II system of 2003 recognises the family and assigns it to the order Santalales in the clade core eudicots. However, the circumscription by APG is much wider than accepted by previous classifications, including the plants earlier treated in families Eremolepidaceae and Viscaceae. It includes about 1,000 species in 43 genera. Many have reported traditional and cultural uses, including as medicine. Genera ...

Santalales
The Santalales are an order of flowering plants with a cosmopolitan distribution, but heavily concentrated in tropical and subtropical regions. It derives its name from its type genus ''Santalum'' (sandalwood). Mistletoe is the common name for a number of parasitic plants within the order. Overview Many of the members of the order are parasitic plants, mostly hemiparasites, able to produce sugars through photosynthesis, but tapping the stems or roots of other plants to obtain water and minerals; some (e.g. ''Arceuthobium'') are obligate parasites, have low concentrations of chlorophyll within their shoots (1/5 to 1/10 of that found in their host's foliage), and derive the majority of their sustenance from their hosts' vascular tissues (water, micro- and macronutrients, and sucrose). Most have seeds without testae (seed coats), which is unusual for flowering plants. Classification The APG IV system of 2016 includes seven families. As in the earlier APG III system, it was ...

Santalum Ellipticum
''Santalum ellipticum'', commonly known as ''Iliahialoe'' (Hawaiian language, Hawaiian) or coastal sandalwood, is a species of flowering plant in the Viscum album, mistletoe family, Santalaceae, that is Endemism, endemic to the Hawaiian Islands. It is a sprawling shrub to small tree, typically reaching a height of and a canopy spread of , but is extremely variable in size and shape. Like other members of the genus, ''S. ellipticum'' is a Parasitic plant, hemi-parasite, deriving some of its Plant nutrition, nutrients from the host plant by attaching to its roots. Habitat and range ''Iliahialoe'' inhabits Hawaiian tropical dry forests, dry forests, Hawaiian tropical low shrublands, low shrublands, and lava plains throughout the archipelago, including the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands, but has been Local extinction, extirpated from Laysan and Kahoolawe, Kahoolawe. Although never recorded on Niihau, Niihau, its historic presence on the island is almost certain. ''S. ellipticum'' i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

''Exocarpos'' is a genus of flowering shrubs and small trees in the sandalwood family, Santalaceae. They are found throughout Southeast Asia, Australia and the Pacific Islands.

In Australia, they are known as ''ballarts'', and several species are known as cherries. Within Australia, an identification key is available for New South Wales species, and for Victorian species.

Thomas Nuttall
Thomas Nuttall (5 January 1786 – 10 September 1859) was an England, English botany, botanist and zoologist who lived and worked in America from 1808 until 1841. Nuttall was born in the village of Long Preston, near Settle, North Yorkshire, Settle in the West Riding of Yorkshire and spent some years as an apprentice printer in England. Soon after going to the United States he met professor Benjamin Smith Barton in Philadelphia. Barton encouraged his strong interest in natural history. Early explorations in the United States In 1810 he travelled to the Great Lakes and in 1811 travelled on the Astor Expedition led by William Price Hunt on behalf of John Jacob Astor up the Missouri River. Nuttall was accompanied by the English botanist John Bradbury (naturalist), John Bradbury, who was collecting plants on behalf of Liverpool botanical gardens. Nuttall and Bradbury left the party at the trading post with the Arikara Indians in South Dakota, and continued farther upriver with Rams ...
