The Trieng tree frog or Trieng bush frog (Gracixalus trieng) is a frog. It lives in Vietnam.[1][2]
The adult male frog is 37.2–41.4 mm long from nose to rear end. The skin of the frog's back is brown or yellow-brown in color with a darker brown mark between the eyes. There is a mark in the shape of a letter Y on the back. The front of the neck and chest are yellow-brown with some pink color. The belly and undersides of the legs are pink in color. The iris of the eye is light gold in color in the middle and darker gold toward the outside.[3]
The female frog lays eggs in a small pool of water inside a plant. This water is called a phytotelm.[3]
This frog lives in forests on mountains that have bamboo plants and evergreen trees. People have seen it between 1716 and 2055 meters above sea level. At least one of the places the frog lives is a protected park: Ngoc Linh Nature Reserve.[1]
