Comandra (name alludes to the hairs in the fl.). Santalaceae. Perhaps a half-dozen leafy herbs or sub- shrubs, one in Eu.. and the others in N. Amer., more or less parasitically attached to the roots of other plants, one or two of which may be of interest to horticulturists. Lvs. alternate, almost sessile: fls. whitish or greenish, small, perfect, in terminal cymes or umbellate panicles; calyx 4-5-cleft, lined or constricted above the ovary, and the tube sometimes conspicuously continued to a neck or top on the fr.; petals wanting; stamens of same number as calyx-lobes, the anthers connected by hairs to the calyx-lobes: fr. nut-like or drupe-like. C. umbellata, Nutt. (Fig. 1041), 6-18 in. high, in dry mostly open ground in the eastern states, is an attractive plant when allowed to spread naturally in patches in waste places: rootstock not showing above ground (C. Richardsiana, Fern., has a superficial root- stock) : Lvs. thin, oblong, pale beneath: fls. whitish. L. H. B. CH
