Nestronia (according to the author, derived from a Greek word for Daphne). Syn., Darbya. Santalaceae. Native deciduous shrub closely related to Buckleya and differing chiefly in its axillary fls., tufts of hairs at the base of the stamens, simple stigma, and in its globose fr. without enlarged persistent sepals. It has no particular ornamental qualities, but is botanically interesting, as it is a parasitic shrub growing like buckleya on the roots of trees, chiefly on those of pines and oaks. For cult. see Buckleya. The only species is N. umbellula, Raf. (Darbya umbellulata, Gray. Buckleya umbellulata, Hieron.). Glabrous shrub, 1-3 ft., spreading by suckers: lvs. opposite, short-petioled, oval or ovate to elliptic-oblong, acute or obtusish, usually narrowed at the base, bright green, 1 – 2 1/2 in. long: fls. 4-merous, dioecious, apetalous, greenish white, small; the staminate slender-pedicelled in 3-9-fld., peduncled umbels; stamens 4, short; pistillate fls. solitary, on stalks 1/6 – 1/4 in. long, with ovate calyx-lobes much shorter than the tube: fr. globose, about 1/2 in. across, purplish, bloomy, crowned by the remnants of the calyx-limb. May; fr. in June. Va. to Ga. and Ala. S.F. 7:75. The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
