'''''Tetrapanax papyrifer''''' ('''Tung-tsau''' or '''Rice-paper Plant''') is an evergreen [[shrub]] in the family [[Araliaceae]], the sole species in the genus '''''Tetrapanax'''''. It is [[endemic (ecology)|endemic]] to [[Taiwan]], but also widely cultivated elsewhere in eastern [[Asia]]. It grows to 3-7 m tall, with usually unbranched stems 2 cm diameter bearing a rosette of large [[leaf|leaves]] at the top (superficially similar to a [[Arecaceae|palm]] crown). The leaves are carried on 40-60 cm petioles, the leaf blade orbicular, 30-50 cm across, deeply palmately lobed with 5-11 primary lobes, each lobe usually secondarily lobulate. It spreads extensively by sprouts from the [[root]] system underground.

The [[flower]]s are produced in a large umbel at the apex of the stem, each flower with 4-5 small white petals. The [[fruit]] is a small [[drupe]].

The [[pith]] from the stem is used to make a substance commonly known as [[rice paper]], but more properly termed [[pith paper]].

The species was once included in the genus ''[[Fatsia]]'' as ''Fatsia papyrifera''.

 Tetrapanax (four and panax, referring to the four-merous flower structure). Araliaceae. By Bentham & Hooker (Genera Plantarum) this genus is included in Fatsia, and is so treated in Vol. III, page 1204. By others, however, it is kept distinct, and the plant known as Fatsia papyrifera then becomes T. papyriferum, Koch, the only species. The reader may take his choice whether to name the plant in one genus or the other; the preference probably lies with placing it in Tetrapanax. This genus, if accepted, differs from Fatsia in its four-merous rather than mostly five-merous flowers, with two-merous ovary, the tomentose-lanate character, and other features. T. papyriferum is an excellent subtropical subject.
