Brachychiton multicaulis is a tree of the genus Brachychiton[lower-alpha 1] found in northern Australia.[2] It was described in 1988.[3]

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]
