Brachychiton discolor F.Muell., Fragm. 1: 1 1858. (Syn: Brachychiton luridus C.Moore ex F.Muell.; Brachychiton paradoxus subsp. discolor (F.Muell.)

Benth.); Family: Malvaceae Genus: Brachychiton Species: B. discolor I found this tree in grounds of a botanical garden in Los Angeles, even from a distance it was spectacularly pink… flowers are bell shaped, and leaves like maple … is reasonably common in cultivation in Australia and is now seen in many tropical areas… and is survives many kinds of climates and toerates various soils… may be a successful avenue tree.. have seen used in Bonsai trade…. There was a spelling mistake in my subject line… Brachychiton is correct ….. UBC Botanic garden is good but most of the plant are from oriental countries like China and Japan.
