Artocarpus camansi : ウィキペディア英語版 | Artocarpus camansi
''Artocarpus camansi'', the breadnut, is a medium-sized tree found in the mulberry family Moraceae. Native to Papua New Guinea, it is a relative of the breadfruit and is commonly used as a staple crop.〔 .〕 Other common names for plant include ''chataigne'' or ''castaña'' (French and Spanish for the unrelated but culinarily similar chestnut") in the Caribbean, ''pana de pepita'', ''kamansi'' in the Philippines, and ''kapiak'' in New Guinea.〔 ==Distribution and origins== ''Artocarpus camansi'' is endemic to New Guinea and possibly Indonesia and the Philippines.〔 The ambiguity of the origins of this plant is a result of spread and domestication of multiple species of breadfruit, ''Artocarpus camansi'' included, as humans spread from island to island in the Pacific. There is speculation that breadfruit, ''Artocarpus altilis'', the most widely used breadfruit, was selectively bred from ''Artocarpus camansi''. If such is the case indeed, then the breadnut would be very significant to the original colonizers of the Pacific Islands because breadfruit was and still is a staple crop and would have contributed to viable human populations on those islands.
