Hicksbeachia is a genus of two species of trees in the family Proteaceae. They are native to northern New South Wales and southeastern Queensland.[1] They are commonly known as red bopple nut or beef nut due to the bright red colour of their fruits.
- Species
- Hicksbeachia pilosa P.H.Weston
- Hicksbeachia pinnatifolia F.Muell.
Neither of the two species is common. H. pinnatifolia is the one more commonly grown, due to its edible nuts.[2]
