QXTANDANG NUT.—A medium size Australian tree, the 'Santalum acuminatum, of the sandalwood family (Santalacece). It produces a plum-like fruit, which is best known in its native country as the quandang nut. It is used as a preserve, but is little known, except in or near its native habitats. Queensland nut.—See Australian hazelnut. Sapucaia nut.—The Brazilian name of, at least, two species of large forest trees growing in the valley of the Amazon and its tributaries. The best known of these is the Lecythis Zdbucajo, a lofty tree of the myrtle family {MyrtacecB). It •is closely allied to the more com- mon Brazil nut of commerce. The sapucaia nuts are produced in an urn-shaped, woody capsule, which has received the name of Monkey- pot, because when these capsules ripen the lid at the top is suddenly liberated, emitting a sharp sound, which, as heard by the monkeys, gives them notice that the nuts are falling, and that the first on the ground becomes the fortunate pos- sessor of the largest number. The nQ. 105. paeadise ob capsules or pots are about six sapucaia nut. inches in diameter, and the lid opening at the top about two inches. The nuts, which are packed very closely in the shell, are about one inch in diameter, an,d two to three in length, with a thin, brown, and very much wrinkled and twisted shell (Pig. 105). The kernel is , white, sweet, oily, and somewhat more delicate in flavor.
