Wikipedia

  1. Macadamia

    Macadamia is a genus of four species of trees in the flowering plant family Proteaceae. They are indigenous to Australia, native to northeastern New South Wales and central and southeastern Queensland specifically. Two species of the genus are commercially important for their fruit, the macadamia nut (or simply macadamia). Global production in 2015 was 160,000 tonnes (180,000 short tons). Other names include Queensland nut, bush nut, maroochi nut, bauple nut and, in the USA, they are also erroneously known as Hawaii nut. In Australian Aboriginal languages, the fruit is known by names such as bauple, gyndl or jindilli (north of Great Dividing Range) and boombera (south of the Great Range). It was an important source of bushfood for the Aboriginal peoples who are the original inhabitants of the area. The nut was first commercially produced on a wide scale in Hawaii, where Australian seeds were introduced in the 1880s, and for some time, they were the world's largest producer. South Africa has been the world's largest producer of the macadamia since the 2010s.

  1. macadamia

    Macadamia refers to a genus of four species of trees indigenous to Australia, and constituting part of the plant family Proteaceae. They are known for producing nuts rich in healthy fats and nutrients. The macadamia nut is often eaten as it is or used in cooking, most commonly in desserts. It is also used to produce oil. The fruit is typically enclosed in a hard shell, which protects the edible nut.

  1. Macadamia

    Macadamia is a genus of four species of trees constituting part of the plant family Proteaceae, native to north eastern New South Wales and south eastern Queensland, Australia. Previously more species, with disjunct distributions, were named within this genus Macadamia. Morphological studies and more recently genetics studies published in 2008 by Austin Mast and colleagues, show they have separated from this genus Macadamia, correlating less closely than thought from earlier morphological studies. The species previously named in this Macadamia genus may still be referred to overall by the non-scientific descriptive name of Macadamia, with their disjunct distributions including: ⁕New Caledonia endemic genus Virotia one species then six species ⁕North eastern Queensland, Australian endemic genus and species Catalepidia heyana ⁕North eastern Queensland and Cape York Peninsula, Australia, three species of Lasjia; in Australia still informally described as northern Macadamias ⁕Sulawesi, Indonesia, two species of Lasjia, L. hildebrandii and L. erecta They are small to large evergreen trees growing to 2–12 m tall. The leaves are arranged in whorls of three to six, lanceolate to obovate or elliptical in shape, 6–30 cm long and 2–13 cm broad, with an entire or spiny-serrated margin. The flowers are produced in a long, slender, simple raceme 5–30 cm long, the individual flowers 10–15 mm long, white to pink or purple, with four tepals. The fruit is a very hard, woody, globose follicle with a pointed apex, containing one or two seeds.
