Kerr's Plane (Platanus kerrii) is a somewhat anomalous species in the Plane tree family, native to Southeast Asia, and differs from the other species in being evergreen, having unlobed leaves, and in the leaf stem not enclosing the axillary bud at its base.
The plant is named after A.F.G. Kerr, who collected the type specimen in Laos in 1932.[2]
