Exocarpos longifolius is a plant in the family Santalaceae that occurs from Vietnam to the Lesser Sunda Islands and New Guinea.[1][2] It is an epiphitic parasite rainforest plant with unusual flowers, which for a period of time caused it to be classified as a new gymnosperm family in the order Gnetales.[3]
