MACADAMIA TERNIFOLA. (Proteaceae.) 33912. Seeds of the 
Queensland nut from Brisbane, Australia. Purchased from Mr. 
Thomas H. Wood. A slow-growing tree of northeastern Australia 
suitable for tropical culture. It begins to bear at 6 to 7 
years almost spherical nuts the size of a large marble, which 
have a very agreeable rich taste resembling that of the Brazil 
nut, but sweeter and not so oily. The shell is harder than the 
shell of a hickory nut, but the white kernel is more like the 
kernel of a hazel nut. The price per pound in Australia is 
about 1 shilling and they have proven very profitable as a nut 
crop. The tree is an evergreen with leaves in threes or fours 
and creamy white racemes of sweet-scented flowers. From pre- 
vious introductions it appears probable that this tree will 
thrive in California and Florida at least. For distribution 
later.
