"Hicksbeachia" is a genus of two species of trees in the family Proteaceae. They are native to northern New South Wales and southeastern Queensland.Australian Plant Name Index: [http://www.anbg.gov.au/cgi-bin/apni?taxon_name=Hicksbeachia%25 "Hicksbeachia"] ] 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.Huxley, A., ed. (1992). "New RHS Dictionary of Gardening". Macmillan ISBN 0-333-47494-5.]
