Pterocarya hupehensis
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. 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.
