[syn. Santalum freycinetianum var. freycinetianum]Iliahi or Forest sandalwoodSantalaceaeEndemic to the Hawaiian Islands (Oahu only)North Halawa Valley, OahuThe Hawaiian name lau ala literally means "sweet wood" or "fragrant wood." Though early Hawaiians may not have used iliahi wood extensively, it was still valued. Besides used as firewood, the light yellow wood was sometimes used to make kk or musical bow.Medicinally, the leaves were used as a shampoo for dandruff and head lice; and a drink from powdered material for male and female sex organs or "for sores of long duration."The fragrant heartwood and bark of iliahi was pounded to scent the smell of new kapa (tapa), and when added with coconut oil the would water proof the material.One older source (Charles Gaudichaud,1819) states that Hawaiians "used all fragrant plants, all flowers and even colored fruits" for lei making. The red or yellow were indicative of divine and chiefly rank; the purple flowers and fruit, or with fragrance, were associated with divinity. Because of their long-standing place in oral tradition, the leaves, new leaves (liko) and flowers of iliahi were likely used for lei making by early Hawaiians, even though there are no written sources.EtymologyThe generic name Santalum is derived from santalon, the Greek name for sandalwood.The specific epithet freycinetianum is named in honor of Captain Loius de Freycinet (1779-1840), commander of the French exploration on board of which was Charles Gaudichaud-Beaupre, the first Western botanist to come to the Hawaiian Islands.NPH00016

Thesium bavarum Schrank, syn.: Thesium montanum Ehrh. ex Hoffm., Thesium linophyllon subsp. montanum (Schrad.) Celak.no name, DE: Berg-Leinblatt, Bayrisches Vermeinkraut, Bayrisches Leinblatt, Bayrischer BergflachsSlo.: bavarska lanikaDat.: June 24. 2017Lat.: 46.35879 Long.: 13.70534Code: Bot_1067/2017_DSC7993Habitat: mountain slope, southeast aspect; next to river bank; light wood and bushes; among tall herbs; calcareous, colluvial, skeletal ground; mostly in shade, dry place; average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 6-9 deg C, elevation 535 m (1.750 feet), alpine phytogeographical region. Substratum: soil.Place: Lower Trenta valley, between villages Soa and Trenta, right bank of river Soa between the road an river, downstream of Otokar farm house, Trenta 4, East Julian Alps, Posoje, Slovenia EC. Comment: Genus Thesium is large and spread on all continents except North America and Australia. The richest with species is South Africa. In Slovenia seven species can be found. Thesium bavarum is the tallest among them. It parasitize on roots of surrounding plants. In spite of its size it is probably frequently overlooked since it usually grows among other tall herbs and has very small, only a few mm large, flowers. Not really a photogenic plant and quite difficult for photography. This is partly due to its slender stalks, which swing here and there already in the slightest breeze and also due to the fact that all plant's details are miniature. The plant is endangered and protected in several countries (for. example in parts of Germany and in Hungary).Ref.:(1) Identification confirmed by dr.
