Santalum yasi
Santalum yasi is a shrub or small tree of the sandalwood family (Santalaceae) native to wet tropical islands of the South Pacific. It is a semi-parasitic plant that needs a host root to grow, so cultivation is usually limited to research or conservation settings.
Santalum yasi is a species of flowering plant in the mistletoe family, Santalaceae, that is native to Fiji, Tonga and Niue. It is known as yasi or yasi dina in the Fijian language.
