Brachychiton garrawayae

Brachychiton garrawayae is a small tree in the genus Brachychiton[a] found on the Cape York peninsula.[2]

The species was first described by Frederick Manson Bailey in 1899 as Sterculia garrawayae,[3][4] but was transferred to the genus, Brachychiton, in 1989 by Gordon Guymer.[2][5]

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]
