Brachychiton spectabilis is a tree of the genus Brachychiton[a] found in northern Australia.[2] It was described by Gordon Guymer in 1988.[3]

Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ 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]
