sandalwood family
Santalaceae
The Santalaceae, the sandalwood family, are a family of flowering plants (including trees, shrubs, and herbs) which, like other members of Santalales, are partially parasitic on other plants. Its flowers are often unisexual or bisexual. Modern treatments of the Santalaceae include the family Viscaceae (mistletoes), previously considered distinct. They are widely distributed worldwide, primarily across temperate and tropical regions. Many members of Santalaceae have a long history of human use. Due to overexploitation, several Santalaceae are of conservation concern.
