Artocarpus camansi
species of plant
Artocarpus camansi, the breadnut, is a species of medium-sized tree in the family Moraceae. The wild ancestor of A. altilis (breadfruit), it is also known as seeded breadfruit to distinguish it from its mostly seedless descendant.
The breadnut is native to New Guinea, the Bismarck Archipelago, the Maluku Islands, and introduced in the Philippines. Both the fruit and seeds are edible after cooking.
Description
The morphology of the breadnut is a tree up to 35 metres (115 ft) tall with leaves 40–60 centimetres (16–24 in) long and 25–45 cm (10–17+1⁄2 in) wide and are pinnately lobed. The plant is monoecious and the male and female flowers occur at the tips of branches. Each male flower has two anthers, and is club-shaped. Thousands of individual male flowers are grouped together in an inflorescence measuring 3 cm (1+1⁄4 in) in diameter and 25–35 cm (10–14 in) long.
The fruit is globular, weighing 800 g (1.8 lb) and are 16–20 cm (6+1⁄2–8 in) long by 8–15 cm (3+1⁄4–6 in) wide with a yellow-green color and each mature tree can produce 600–800 fruits per year. Additionally, when ripe, the interior of the fruit is off white with a sweet taste and aroma.

Why this record matters
“Artocarpus camansi” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Artocarpus, camansi and species provides the most credible route into that argument.
Stable identifiers, scientific names and standards terminology offer the best bridge between this overview and specialist evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 11, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q251762. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.
Scientific names, classifications and consensus can change while older terminology persists in catalogues and historical literature. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
