Lasjia is a
genus of five known species of trees, constituting part of the plant family
Proteaceae. Three species grow naturally in north–eastern Queensland, Australia and two species in
Sulawesi, Indonesia. Descriptively they are the tropical or northern macadamia trees group.
Lasjia species characteristically branched compound
inflorescences differentiate them from the
Macadamia species, of Australia, which have characteristically unbranched compound inflorescences and only grow naturally about further to the south, in southern and central eastern
Queensland and in north–eastern
New South Wales.
