Brassaiopsis dumicola, synonym Euaraliopsis dumicola, is a species of flowering plant in the family Araliaceae, native to China (south-western Yunnan) and northern Vietnam.[1] It was first described by William Wright Smith in 1917.[2]
Description
[edit]Brassaiopsis dumicola is a shrub or a tree, growing to 9 m tall. Its leaves have about nine deeply divided lobes. The lateral inflorescence is pendent, with umbels about 3 cm in diameter borne on branched axes. The stout pedicels are about 5–8 mm long and are surrounded by stiff bracteoles 4–10 mm long.[3]
Conservation
[edit]Euaraliopsis dumicola was assessed as "endangered" in the 2004 IUCN Red List, where it is said to be native only to Yunnan.[4] As of February 2023[update], Plants of the World Online regarded E. dumicola as a synonym of Brassaiopsis dumicola, which has a wider distribution.[1]
