Quandong
Quandong (alternative spelling Quongdong, also called wild peach or desert peach) is the name given to three kinds of Australian wild bush plants (or bushtucker), of which two belong to the sandalwood genus (Santalum):
- Desert Quandong, sweet quandong, or native peach (Santalum acuminatum). Is widely dispersed throughout the central deserts and southern arid areas of Australia. The sweet quandong was therefore known to many different indigenous language groups and is therefore known by many different indigenous names including guwandhang (Wiradjuri people of the Lachlan River region of NSW) from which the English name was adapted. Other indigenous names include; gutchu (Wotjobaluk people of western Victoria); wanjanu or mangata (Pitjantjatara people, west of Uluru (Ayers rock) and goorti (Narungga).
- Bitter Quandong or Ming (Santalum murrayanum). Katunga, Burn-burn, Mangata
- Blue Quandong (Elaeocarpus angustifolius, syn. E. grandis). also known as Silver Quandong, Brush Quandong, Blue Fig and Coolan.
