Brachychiton australis, commonly known as the broad-leaved bottle tree, is a small tree of the genus Brachychiton[lower-alpha 1] found in eastern Australia.[2] It was originally classified in the family Sterculiaceae, which is now within Malvaceae.

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]
