Brachychiton xanthophyllus is a tree of the genus Brachychiton[a] found in northwestern Australia. It was first described in 1988 by Gordon Guymer.[2]
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[1]
