Le Wutong (firmiana simplex, en chinois : 梧桐) ou arbre parasol chinois, est un arbre ornemental de la famille des sterculiacées originaire d'Asie du Sud-Est (Chine, Taïwan, Ryukyu). Il est également connu sous les noms scientifiques suivants : Hibiscus collinus Roxb., Hibiscus simplex L., Firmiana platanifolia, Sterculia platanifolia L.f.). Il peut atteindre 12 mètres de hauteur. Ses feuilles palmées sont alternes, caduques et atteignent 30 cm de largeur. Les fleurs sont petites, blanches à verdâtres et groupées en bouquets. On le cultive pour l'ornement dans les régions chaudes d'Amérique du Nord.
Les qualités acoustiques exceptionnelles de son bois le font utiliser dans la caisse de résonance de plusieurs instruments de musique chinois, comme le guqin et le guzheng.
