Left: Indian sandalwood (Santalum album); native to the Indian subcontinent. IUCN: VulerableRight: Iliahi (Santalum freycnetianum); endemic to Oahu (Hawaii, USA). While not rare, it is certainly not as common as it once was before the mass logging for the fragrant heartwood. See "The Sandalwood Trade Story"

2012-05-11 Burgenland, district Neusiedl/See, meadow near Zitzmannsdorfer Wiesen (outside National Park)German name: Mittel-LeinblattGenus Thesium consists of a very few semi-parasitic species, of which none is too common and most are very rare. This one here, Th. linophyllum, is common enough only in Eastern, Pannonian Austria but rare elsewhere.Even so it does appear rarer than it seems to be because most of its habitats (dry, nutrient-poor meadows) have been destroyed in the last two or three decades, and in its habitats their tiny flowers, pretty only when you look at them from close, are overlooked by most, as their habitats are home to several more spectacular orchid and iris species. They're spectacular enough for my money, those Thesium flowers which don't even have a 'proper' common name.

Words borrowed! "Choretrum candollei is a member of the Santalaceae. The species that make up this family are hemiparasites. Their leaves are able to photosynthesise but have to obtain water and soluble salts from host plants. Choretrum candollei is a root parasite and is endemic to Australia. In effect the species is an underground mistletoe."Common and widespread; conspicuous bush when in flower.
