1993
Cherrier, J-F. (Centre Technique Forestier Tropical (New Caledonia))
Sandalwood has a place of some importance in the history of French Polynesia. It is still sought after for use in local handicrafts and traditional cosmetics. However, little is known about the extent of the resource remaining and very little is known about its ecological requirements or silviculture. Nevertheless, the species deserves further study with the hope of one day establishing plantations.
