Brachychiton fitzgeraldianus is a tree of the genus Brachychiton[a] found in northwestern Australia. It was described in 1988.[2]

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]
