Lagerstroemia engleriana is a species of crepe myrtle in the family Lythraceae. Its range spans from Sulawesi, Indonesia to Papua New Guinea and reaches south to northwest and northeast Australia.[2] Unlike typical Lagerstroemia species, L. engleriana thrives in the seasonally dry and harsh Australian monsoon tropics.[3]
