Bretschneideraceae

Bretschneideraceae encompasses a group of deciduous trees, recognized by their robust, thick trunks and expansive, often horizontally extended branches. Notably, their large, deeply lobed leaves facilitate efficient sunlight capture, vital in their densely forested habitats. This characteristic not only aids in their own growth but also shapes the ecosystem by influencing the undergrowth patterns around them.
