Pterocarya hupehensis

Species of tree From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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]
