It is commonly known as desert quandong, northern sandalwood, sandalwood, or true sandalwood and in some areas as burdardu. The mature height of this plant is variable, from 1 to 7 m. The flowers are green, white, and cream, appearing between January and October. The species has a distribution throughout central Australia, becoming scattered or unusual in more southern regions.[1] TaxonomySantalum lanceolatum was described by Robert Brown in Prodromus Florae Novae Hollandiae (1810).[2]Distribution and habitatThe native range of the plant extends from north-western Victoria, northwards through New South Wales to North Queensland, westwards across The Northern Territory and into north-western Western Australia. It is a plant primarily of arid and semiarid inland areas, although its distribution reaches the coast in both Central Queensland and the Kimberley. The tree is becoming increasingly rare across much of its desert range due to destructive browsing by feral camels. EcologyThe family Santalaceae falls within the mistletoe clade, and S. lanceolatum is a hemiparasite, which obtains some of its water and mineral nutrient requirements from the roots of other plants. Medicinal usesThe plant is used by the people of the northwest for medicinal purposes, and is placed within the 'Burndad song cycle' of those countries.[3] In the Marra language, it is called dumbuyumbu.[4] This name also occurs in neighbouring languages such as Alawa and is used in Roper River Kriol. Burning the leaves repels insects.[3] References1. ^{{FloraBase|name =Santalum lanceolatum R.Br. |id= 2357 }} 2. ^{{APNI|name = Santalum lanceolatum R.Br.|id= 7084 }} 3. ^1 {{Cite book|title=Wanggalili; Yinjibarndi and Ngarluma Plants|author=Burndud|publisher= Juluwarlu Aboriginal Corporation |year=1990}} 4. ^{{Cite book|title=Basic materials in Mara: grammar, texts and dictionary|author=Heath, Jeffrey|publisher= Pacific Linguistics |year=1981}} External links{{Commons category}}{{Taxonbar|from=Q3020911}} 10 : Australian Aboriginal bushcraft|Santalum|Flora of Queensland|Flora of New South Wales|Flora of the Northern Territory|Flora of Victoria (Australia)|Drought-tolerant trees|Trees of Australia|Medicinal plants|Plants described in 1810 |
