Brachychiton australis, commonly known as the broad-leaved bottle tree, is a small tree of the genus Brachychiton[a] found in eastern Australia.[2] It was originally classified in the family Sterculiaceae, which is now within Malvaceae.

Notes

  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]
