Brachychiton fitzgeraldianus is a tree of the genus Brachychiton [a] found in northwestern Australia. It was described in 1988.[2]
Notes
[edit ]- ^ The genus Brachychiton was traditionally placed in the family Sterculiaceae, but that family, along with Bombacaceae and Tiliaceae, has been found to be polyphyletic and is now sunk into a more broadly-defined Malvaceae [1]
