Abstract
Simmondsia chinensis (Link) Schneider, commonly known as “jojoba” or “hohoba”. is a dioecious, evergreen perennial plant belonging to the monotypic family Simmondsiaceae. It is a native of Sonoran desert of the south western United States of America, north western Mexico and Baja California (Gentry, 1958; Benzioni, 1995). This species is distributed over about 256,000 square km area from 25 to 31° North latitude and from 109 to 117° West longitude (Gentry, 1958).
