#REDIRECT [[Castanospermum australe]]
Castanospermum (chestnut seed, because of the taste of the seeds). Leguminosae. A genus of 2 species, one of which is a tall Australian tree, with odd- pinnate lvs., the lfts. broad, thick, entire: fls. large, yellow-orange, in lateral or axillary loose racemes which are usually about 5 in. long; petals 4; stamens free; ovary long-stipitate, many-ovuled: pod 8-9 in. long with 4-5 seeds larger than Italian chestnuts, globular. C. australe, Cunn., is the species known locally as "Moreton Bay chestnut." The seeds are roasted and eaten. Intro, in S. Calif., but not common. The other species is New Caledonian, and apparently not in cult.
