Brachychiton compactus is a tree of the genus Brachychiton[lower-alpha 1] found in northeastern Australia.[2] It has a very restricted distribution on the central coast of Queensland near Proserpine, and also occurs in a fragmented araucarian vine thicket on Hayman Island.[3][4]
Conservation status
Brachychiton compactus is listed as of conservation concern, under the category Near Threatened, by the Queensland Government under the Queensland Nature Conservation Act.[4]
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]
