Macadamia is a genus of nine species of flowering plants in the family Proteaceae, with a disjunct distribution native to eastern Australia (seven species), New Caledonia (one species M. neurophylla) and Sulawesi in Indonesia (one species, M. hildebrandii). They are small to large evergreen trees growing to 2-12m tall. The leaves are arranged in whorls of three to six, lanceolate-obovate or elliptical in shape, 6-30cm long and 2-13cm broad, with an entire or spiny-serrated margin. The flowers are produced in a long slender simple raceme 5-30cm long, the individual flowers 10-15mm long, white-pink or purple, with four tepals. The fruit is a very hard woody globose follicle with a pointed apex, containing one or two seeds. The genus is named after John Macadam, a colleague of botanist Ferdinand von Mueller, who first described the genus. The kernel contains Vitamins Al, BI, B2, Niacin and essential elements such as Calcium, Iron, Phosphorus, Magnesium and Potassium.
