AboutLeírás
Santalum album is a small tropical tree, and the traditional source of sandalwood oil. It is native to Indonesia (Java and the Lesser Sunda Islands), the Philippines, and Western Australia. It is commonly known as the white sandalwood or Indian sandalwood. It was one of the plants exploited by Austronesian arboriculture and it was introduced by Austronesian sailors to Mainland Southeast Asia, South Asia and East Asia, during the ancient spice trade, becoming naturalized in South India by at least 1300 BCE. It was greatly valued for its fragrance, and is considered sacred in some religions like Hinduism. The high value of the species has caused over-exploitation, to the point where the wild population is vulnerable to extinction. Indian sandalwood still commands high prices for its essential oil owing to its high alpha-santalol content, but the lack of sizable trees has essentially eliminated its former use for fine woodworking. The plant is long-lived, but harvest is only viable after many years.
A fehér szantálfa vagy (kelet-)indiai szantálfa (Santalum album) ázsiai eredetű, félparazita fa, amely 6–10 m magasra nő, levelei bőrneműek és ép szélűek. Kisméretű virágai fürtökbe tömörülnek. A szantálfafélék közül a mérsékelt égöviek lágy szárúak. A gazdanövény gyökereihez tapadt hausztóriumokkal szívják el a vizet. Délkelet-Ázsiából, Indiából, Ausztráliából és Afrikából származnak. Az Európában élő növényt a Fülöp-szigetekről hozzák be.
