Pyrularia Michaux. Common name: Buffalo-nut.
A genus of 5 species, hemiparasitic shrubs, of e. North America and e. Asia (the other 4 species are of e. Asia). Pyrularia is placed in the segregate family Cervantesiaceae by Nickrent et al. (2010), but is sometimes treated in a more broadly-conceived Santalaceae.

- If you opt out of including email, please be as specific as possible (e.g., which photo is incorrect?)
- Please do not submit questions asking to identify plants or about horticultural topics (e.g., how do I control an invasive plant in my garden?). Instead, those questions can be submitted here for the Carolinas region only.
- Please do not send us feedback about unkeyed species as this work is ongoing.
- Please allow time for flora edits to show in our next data release. We greatly appreciate your feedback but may require extra time to research complicated taxonomic issues.
