Pterocarya hupehensis (commonly known as the Hubei Wingnut) is a tree in the Juglandaceae family native to China. It grows on moist streambanks at 700 to 2,000 m (2,300 to 6,600 ft) elevation—mostly in North Guizhou, West Hubei (Changyang Xian), South Shaanxi, West Sichuan.[1] Genetic and phylogeographic research indicates that populations of P. hupehensis experienced historical divergence and demographic changes associated with the strengthening of the East Asian monsoon and Quaternary climatic fluctuations.[2]
Description
Pterocarya hupehensis is a deciduous broad-leaved tree. It is large and can grow up to 20 m (65.6 ft) tall. It has pale grey bark which is fissured.[3] The leaves are 12-30 cm long.[3]
