The Hawaiian cultivars Keaau (HAES 660) and Mauka (HAES 741) were selected by the University of 
Hawaii, released in 1966 and 1977 respectively, and have been used extensively in macadamia orchards 
throughout the world. Recent molecular evidence suggests that these two cultivars are almost 
genetically identical. However, anecdotal evidence suggests they are phenotypically different. This study 
reviews available molecular, historical and phenotypic evidence to examine the hypothesis that these 
two cultivars are the same genotype.
