Madagascar. Includes only ''[[Foetidia]]''.<br /> *'''Lecythidioideae''' (Barringtoniaceae, Lecythidaceae). South America. Includes all the other genera.<br /> <br /> The most important member of the family in world trade is the [[Brazil nut]] (''Bertholletia excelsa''), valued for its edible [[nut (fruit)|nuts]]; the [[Paradise nut]] (''Lecythis'' species) is also eaten.<br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> *[http://delta-intkey.com/angio/www/lecythid.htm Lecythidiaceae] in [http://delta-intkey.com/angio/ L.
