Abstract

Stem. The stems of members of Santalales are mostly terete, less commonly ridged or quadrangular; rarely they are alate or compressed to broadly complanate, as in species of Dendrophthora, Exocarpos, Phoradendron, in Phthirusa hutchisonii, and especially in many Korthalsella. In Acanthosyris, ramal thorns are present; this is also said to be true in Ximenia (Sleumer 1935), even though Sleumer’s Fig. 11 does not show it.
