Thesium is a genus of flowering plants in the family Santalaceae. It is particularly well represented in South Africa,[2] where roughly half the species occur.[3] Nickrent and others argue that the genera Austroamericium Hendrych, Chrysothesium (Jaub. & Spach) Hendrych, Kunkeliella Stearn, and Thesidium Sond should be considered as part of this genus.[3]
