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]
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]
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]
