It is a somewhat rare tree found only growing in the [[rainforests]] of southeastern [[Queensland]] and northern [[New South Wales]]. The sole species is ''Floydia praealta'' and is commonly known as the ball nut or possum nut.<br /> <br /> The tree has a superficial resemblance to the closely-related ''[[Macadamia]]'' and could be confused with them. The fruit of ''F. praealta'' is poisonous. <br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> *[http://plantnet.rbgsyd.nsw.gov.au/cgi-bin/NSWfl.pl?page=nswfl&amp;lvl=sp&amp;name=Floydia~praealta Description of plant, including pictures]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Flora of New South Wales]]<br /> [[Category:Flora of Queensland]]<br /> [[Category:Proteaceae]]<br /> [[Category:Proteales of Australia]]<br /> <br /> {{proteaceae-stub}}</div>
