Platanus gentryi, commonly known as Gentry's plane tree, Gentry's sycamore,[1][2][3]Sicómoro de la Sierra, or the mountain sycamore,[4] is a species of Platanus in the family Platanaceae.[1][2][3] It was described by Kevin C. Nixon and Jackie M. Poole in 2003.[3] The species is endemic to northwestern Mexico, primarily the states of Chihuahua, Sinaloa, and Sonora,[1][2][3] at general elevations of 650–1,500 m, where it grows in semi-arid, dry conditions.[4] It is currently listed as "Vulnerable" by the IUCN Red List, for the logging industry has been over-exploiting the species profitable lumber.[4]
