Macadamia tetraphylla ist eine Pflanzenart aus der Familie der Silberbaumgewächse (Proteaceae). Sie stammt aus dem Südosten Australiens. Bekannt sind ihre essbaren Früchte, die Macadamianüsse.
Macadamia tetraphylla wächst als kleiner bis mittelgroßer Baum, oft mit kurzem, kurz über dem Boden verzweigten Stamm, und erreicht Wuchshöhen von 3 bis 18 m.
Die ledrigen Laubblätter stehen zu viert, selten zu dritt oder fünft, in Quirlen an den Zweigen. Im Austrieb sind die Blätter rötlich[1] und leicht behaart, die Behaarung verliert sich später. Der Blattstiel fehlt oder misst höchstens 0,4 cm. Die Blätter sind 7 bis 30 cm lang bei einer Breite von 1,4 bis 6 cm. Die Blattspreite ist länglich bis lanzettlich, oberhalb der Mitte am breitesten. Der Blattrand ist leicht gewellt und regelmäßig stachlig gezähnt. Das Blattspreite endet spitz oder mit aufgesetzter Spitze. Die Blattoberseite ist leicht glänzend, die Unterseite ist heller, die Mittelrippe tritt auf beiden Blattseiten deutlich hervor.[2]
Der traubige Blütenstand ist 5,5 bis 38 cm lang und je zwei Blüten stehen in der Achsel eines Tragblattes. Die Blütenstandsachse ist gelblich-braun behaart. Die cremefarbenen oder rosafarbenen, behaarten Blütenhüllblätter sind 0,55 bis 1,5 cm lang. Die Staubbeutel sind 0,7 bis 2,2 mm lang. Der Fruchtknoten und die Basis des Griffels sind bräunlich behaart.[3]
Die Frucht ist rundlich, vorne etwas zugespitzt, mit einem Durchmesser von 2,4 bis 5 cm. Sie umgibt mit einer ledrigen, 2 bis 9 mm dicken Schale (Perikarp) den einzelnen Samen. Die verholzte, manchmal runzlige Samenschale (Testa) ist 2 bis 6 mm dick.[2]
Macadamia tetraphylla ist in einem kleinen Gebiet im Norden von New South Wales und im Südosten von Queensland beheimatet. Sie wächst dort in Regenwäldern.[2]
Die Samen von Macadamia tetraphylla sind essbar. Angebaut werden meist Hybriden von Macadamia tetraphylla und Macadamia integrifolia.[4]

Macadamia tetraphylla is a tree in the family Proteaceae, native to southern Queensland and northern New South Wales in Australia. Common names include macadamia nut, bauple nut, prickly macadamia, Queensland nut, rough-shelled bush nut and rough-shelled Queensland nut.
This species has dense foliage and grows up to 18 metres in height. The leaves, which have toothed margins, are 7 to 25 cm in length. As the species name "tetraphylla" implies, it usually has four leaves more or less equally spaced around each leaf node, whereas the other main commercial species "integrifolia" has a variable leaf number but usually three. It has long, pendant white to creamy pink to purple flowers, followed by woody, rounded fruits which are 2 to 3 cm in diameter and contain edible seeds.[2] As one common name implies, the shell of this species is often dimpled or "rough shelled" as compared to the integrifolia, which has a smooth shell, and always white flowers.
It has been introduced to Mexico and has done well in the states of Michoacán and Jalisco and has become an important export crop for the Mexican market.[3] Hawaii is the largest exporter of this crop worldwide. Both species of Macadamia have not done well in the pure tropics, with no fully successful plantations less than 15 degrees from the equator. Major plantations in Costa Rica, at 10 degrees north, are said to produce much less than in Hawaii at 19 to 22 degrees north, in one case 20% the production. Plantations in Guatemala at 15 degrees north are successful. However, individual seedling trees have produced well in the pure tropics and need to be selected. One grower noted that the integrifolia flowers in Costa Rica have no aroma, leading to low and erratic pollination. Macadamia tetraphylla has a higher sugar content than integrifolia, leading to problems of burning when baked in cookies and other desserts, thus most commercial macadamias are of the integrifolia species to assure conformity of roasting and baking results. Many tetraphylla or hybrids of tetraphylla and integrifolia are grown in home orchards. The higher sugar content of tetraphylla is preferred by some, especially for eating raw.
Macadamia tetraphylla was the first Australian native food plant to be grown by non-indigenous Australians as a commercial crop. The first commercial plantation of macadamia trees were planted in the early 1880s by Charles Staff at Rous Mill, 12 km southeast of Lismore, New South Wales, consisting of M. tetraphylla.[4] Seedlings from the original plantation were used as rootstock for grafted modern varieties well into the 20th century. This original plantation was finally cleared and replaced with grafted modern varieties in the 1990s.
Ironically, even as the macadamia has spread worldwide in commercial agriculture, it is now listed as a vulnerable species in its native Australia due to habitat loss and degradation. The loss and impoverishment of its habitat has resulted from clearance of lowland rainforest for agriculture and urban development; invasive weeds; and poorly-designed fire management systems.[5]
Like many other nuts, as well as olives, macadamia nuts are high in monounsaturated fatty acids (containing approximately 86%). Monounsaturated fatty acids have been linked to reduced cholesterol in the blood.[6]
The FDA has approved for manufacturers of macadamia products to use this verbiage, “Supportive but not conclusive research shows that eating 1.5 ounces per day of macadamia nuts, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol and not resulting in increased intake of saturated fat or calories may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease. See nutrition information for fat [and calorie] content.” It is important to note that this is a "qualified health claim" and not meeting the rigorous standard of "significant scientific agreement".[7]

Macadamia tetraphylla Proteaceae ailesinden güney Queensland ve kuzey New South Wales-Avustralya'ya özgü bir ağaçtır. Macadamia Nut (Makademya Fındığı), Bauple Nut, Prickly Macadamia, Queensland Nut, Rough-shelled Bush Nut veya Rough-shelled Queensland Nut(Sert Kabuklu Queensland Fındığı) olarak da bilinir.
Bu tür yoğun yapraklı ve 18 metre yüksekliğe ulaşır. Dişli kenarları olan yapraklar,7 ile 25 cm arası uzunluğundadır. Uzun, krem pembeden mora kayan çiçekleri,odunsu, yuvarlak 2–3 cm çapında ve yenilebilir tohumlu meyveleri içerir.[1]
Macadamia, Meksika'ya giren ve Michoacán,Jalisco eyaletlerinden yetiştirilen bu ürün ve Meksika marketlerinde önemli bir ihracat girdisi olmuştur.[2] Hawaii bu bitkinin en büyük üreticilerindendir.
Makademya'nın bu türü sert,daha kalın ve zor kırılır kabuklu ama tatlı meyveleri ve 4lü yapıdaki yapraklarıyla, bütün yapraklı ve biraz daha az tatlı meyveli ama daha ince kabuklu ve çok az daha büyük integratifolia ve 3lü yapıdaki yaprakları,küçük ve acı tatlı meyveleri bulunan ternifolia türünden [3][4] ayrılır. İntegratifolia türünden çok olmasa da biraz daha fazla soğuğa dayanıklı bir tür olup Avustralya'da integratifolia türüne oranla biraz daha güneye yayılım göstermektedir.
Macadamia tetraphylla ilk Avustralya'nın avrupalılarca ticari ürün olarak yetiştirilen doğal . İlk ticari Makademya çiftliği 1880'de Rous Mill'de, Lismore'dan 12 km uzakta,Charles Staff tarafından yapıldı ve ağaçların hepsi M. tetraphylla idi..[5] Buradaki bitkiler sonrasında 20.yüzyılda modern varyeteler için anaç olarak kullanıldı. Bu orijinal çiftlik sonrasında temizlenip 1990larda modern aşılanmış varyetelerle ağaçlar değiştirildi. Tetraphylla türü, sürekli olarak daha zor kırılır ve kalın kabukları nedeniyle kültüre alınıp, anaç olarak integratifolia türü için veya bu türle çaprazlanıp hibrit türler yaratılması için kullanılması,çevre ve orman talanı nedeniyle doğal yabani ortamında tehdit altındadır.
Pek çok kabuklu yemiş türü ve zeytin gibi diğer yemişler gibi Makademya tekli doymamış yağlar yönünden çok zengindir.(yaklaşık %86 oranında). Tekli doymamış yağlar kandaki kolestrolün düşürülmesine yardımcıdır.[6]
Bununla birlikte cilt bakımı için kullanılan macadamia yağı yaklaşık %22 Omega 7 palmitoleic asit içerdiğinden dolayı değerlidir [7] Bu asit mink yağında da %17 oranında bulunup,makademya onun botanik bir alternatifidir. Mink yağına nazaran daha fazla deri bakımını sağlayan palmitoleic asit içermesi ve üzerine Macadamia'nın yüksek antioksidan özelliği onun özellikle cilt bakımı için kozmetikte yoğun talep görmesine yol açmıştır. Fakat pek çok tohumun yaptığı gibi Makademya'da insanlarda alerjik reaksiyonlara neden olabilmektedir.
Bu reaksiyonlar dudaklarda şişme, boyunda aşırı derece kaşıntı gibi semptomlar ve anafilaksi şeklinde olur. Bu sebeple özellikle bu tohumları hiç tüketmemiş çocuk ve yetişkinlerinde kullanımında dikkat etmesi gerekir.
