Caryocar (from the Greek word for nut). Caryocaraceae; formerly included in Ternstraemiaceae, and by some referred to Rhizobolaceae, Trees, or rarely shrubs, of about 10 species in Trop. Amer., one of which is well known for its large edible nuts. Lvs. opposite, digitately 3-5-foliolate, leathery, often serrate: fls. bractless, in terminal racemes; calyx deeply 5-6-parted, the lobes orbiculate and strongly imbricate; petals 5-6. imbricate; stamens many, somewhat joined at the base; ovary 4-6-celled: fr. drupaceous, with a hard stone or stones and very large seeds. C. nuciferum, Linn., produces the souari-nut or butternut of the American tropics. Although native of Guiana, it is cult, in some of the W. Indies isls.: tree, attaining 100 ft. or more, producing durable timber used chiefly in ship-building: lvs. trifoliolate, the lfts. elliptic-lanceolate, glabrous: fls. large, purple, the stamens white and very numerous: fr. several inches in diam., nearly globular or becoming misshapen by abortion of the contents, containing 2-4 hard-shelled nuts the size of a hen's egg, and which are flat-kidney-shaped, warty and reddish brown; kernel or meat white, with a nutty or almond-like flavor, and yielding oil when subjected to pressure. B.M. 2727, 2728. The nuts now and then appear in northern markets. The closely allied C. villosum, Pers.. of Guiana and Brazil, is reported as a notable timber tree; and the oily pulp surrounding the seed is eaten boiled and the kernel of the seed is eaten raw.
