Abstract

Recognition of Parasitism in Santalales. The earliest realisation of the phenomenon of parasitism in higher plants generally is difficult to pinpoint, and this is true also in Santalales (Kuijt 1969) even though mistletoes were known to some early observers. Theophrastus was aware of perhaps both common European species, Loranthus europeus and Viscum album, as also reported by Pliny (Tubeuf 1923). This does not mean, of course, that the nature of parasitism was recognized at that time.

Notes

  1. 1.

    The term “autotrophic” is not to be equated with “photosynthetic”, as numerous parasites in Santalales and elsewhere are photosynthetic but not (entirely) self-nourishing.

  2. 2.

    The term haustorium was introduced by A.P. de Candolle (1813) when discussing Cuscuta (Convolvulaceae).
