  Simmondsia chinensis   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Simmondsia is unique among plants in that its seeds contain an oil which is a liquid wax.
Since Simmondsia Oil resembles sperm whale oil both in composition and properties, it should serve as a replacement for the applications of that oil.
Because of the present demand for the wax and oil, jojoba is being considered as a non-competitive crop, that could replace wheat and cotton in Texas and southern California, with as much as the yield from 70,000 hectares being absorbed by industry.

 The Living Desert - Jojoba
The southern range of Simmondsia chinensis, or Jojoba, is halted in the central and southern portions of Sonora, Mexico where the relatively wet summers and somewhat dry winters conflict with the preferred precipitation patterns of Jojoba.
Simmondsia chinensis is well suited to areas that receive relatively more winter rain and less summer precipitation.
The most intriguing aspects of Simmondsia chinensis however center around the oil found in its seeds.

 Jojoba - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jojoba (Simmondsia chinensis) is a shrub native to the deserts of southern California, Arizona, and adjacent parts of northwest Mexico.
It was later renamed Simmondsia californica, but priority rules require that the original specific epithet be used.
The common name should also not be confused with the similar-sounding Jujube (Ziziphus zizyphus), an unrelated plant.

Jojoba (Simmondsia chinensis), produces a unique oil (or liquid wax) which has great potential for use in cosmetics and industrial applications.
The oil is crushed from peanut-sized seeds that are produced from plantations of hedge-row grown shrubs.
This precious raw material comes from the nuts (about 50% oil by weight) of an inconspicuous knotty desert shrub, Simmondsia chinensis, that is under development as a crop for semiarid lands.
