Lagerstroemia subcostata, the Taiwan crepe myrtle, is a deciduous tree native to Japan, the Ryukyu Islands, Taiwan, and southern China, and introduced to the Philippines.[2]
When L. subcostata var. fauriei is crossed with Lagerstroemia indica, the result is Lagerstroemia × egolfii (usually given as Lagerstroemia indica × fauriei), the hybrid crape myrtle, which has many cultivars and is widely planted as an ornamental in the United States.[3][4][5][6]
