Brachychiton bidwillii, commonly known as the dwarf kurrajong or little kurrajong,[1] is a small tree of the genus Brachychiton found in tropical areas of eastern Australia.[2] It was originally classified in the family Sterculiaceae, which is now within Malvaceae.[a]
Notes
[edit]- ^ 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[3]
