Santalum murrayanum

Santalum murrayanum, known as Skip in common parlance and belonging to the Santalaceae family, is native to New South Wales, South Australia, Victoria, and Western Australia. This small tree thrives in a variety of soil types—light (sandy), medium, and heavy (clay)—and requires moist conditions with partial sun or shade for optimal growth. The inner bark of Skip is edible, making it a valuable resource for those familiar with its use. Its adaptability to different habitats and the utility of its inner bark make it an interesting subject in botanical studies.
