Brachychiton multicaulis is a tree of the genus Brachychiton[a] found in northern Australia.[3] It was first described in 1988 by Gordon Guymer.[3][4]
It is found only in the Northern Territory in the Tanami and southern Victoria River District, growing in open woodland on red sandy soils.[1]
Notes
- ^ 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[2]
