FLOWERS, LEAVES, AND FEUIT OF THE MACADAMIA, MACADAMIA TERNIFOLIA. 



In Queensland this nut has become of commercial importance and orchards of it are being 

 planted. No selection of varieties has yet been made, nor is it possible as yet to predict with regard 

 to yields or diseases, but the fact that the tree will fruit in southern Florida makes it eligible foi 

 trial by a large number of experimenters. The fruits are borne in clusters, the shell is thick, and tht 

 edible portion is as easily removed as that of a filbert. In Plant Immigrants No. 78 is shown an 

 illustration of the nuts. Photographed (P19721FS) by P. H. Dorsett at Miami, Fla., Field Station 

 June 14, 1916. Natural size.
