quandong plant Santalum acuminatum (R. Br.) A. DC. Santalum acuminatum, the desert quandong, is a hemiparasitic plant in the Sandalwood family *Santalaceae*, widely dispersed throughout the central deserts and southern areas of Australia. The species, especially its fruit, is also referred to as quandong or native peach. The use of the fruit as an exotic flavouring, one of the best known bushfoods, has led to the attempted domestication of the species.[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santalum_acuminatum] burn-burn desert quandong native peach santalum acuminatum sweet ouandong sweet quandong western quandong sandalwood plant requires discussion
