Brachychiton multicaulis is a tree of the genus Brachychiton[lower-alpha 1] found in northern Australia.[3] It was first described in 1988 by Gordon Guymer.[3][4]

It is found only in the Northern Territory in the Tanami and southern Victoria River District, growing in open woodland on red sandy soils.[1]

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[2]
