Santalum spicatum
''Santalum spicatum'', Australian sandalwood, is a tree native to semiarid〔Sandalwood(Santalum Spicatum) Guide for Farmers - Tree Facts pamphlet- Forest Products Commission - April 2007 specifically states Wheatbelt and areas with minimum 400 mm annual rainfall〕 areas at the edge of Southwest Australia. It is traded as sandalwood, and its valuable oil has been used as an aromatic, a medicine, and a food source. ''S. spicatum'' is one of four high-value ''Santalum'' species occurring in Australia.
== Description ==
It is one of four species of the family Santalaceae to occur in Western Australia. It has a similar distribution to quandong (''Santalum acuminatum'') and is a hemiparasite requiring macronutrients from the roots of hosts. It has a shrubby to small tree habit, but can grow to 6 metres and is tolerant of drought and salt. The foliage is grey-green in colour. The fruit of ''S. spicatum'' is spherical, about 3 cm in diameter and is orange. An edible kernel with a hard shell forms the bulk of the fruit; the shell is smoother than ''S. acuminatum's'' deeply pitted surface. Germination occurs during warm and moist conditions. The impact of overcultivation and land clearing for agriculture, since the 1880s, has greatly reduced the range of the species. The oils produced by the tree contain a greater complexity of chemicals, many of which have antimicrobial qualities.
