About

Mitrephora macclurei is a species of flowering plant in the family Annonaceae. It is a tree native to southern China, Laos, Vietnam, Thailand, and Peninsular Malaysia. Aruna Weerasooriya and Richard Saunders, the botanists who first formally described the species, named it after Floyd Alonzo McClure of Lingnan University (formerly Canton Christian College), who collected the holotype specimen that they examined.

Where it grows

It is native to Laos, Vietnam, Thailand, and Peninsular Malaysia, and to southern Yunnan, southern Guizhou, Guangxi, and Hainan in southern China. It has been observed growing in forests, often near rivers, with limestone soil at elevations of 800 meters (2,600 ft).
