'''''Schefflera arboricola''''' ([[synonymy|syn.]] ''Heptapleurum arboricolum'') is a plant in the [[Araliaceae]] family. It is an [[evergreen]] [[shrub]] which can reach to 3-4 m tall. The trailing stems are weak and frequently scramble over other vegetation. The [[leaf|leaves]] are palmately compound, and have 7-9 leaflets. Leaflets are 9-20 cm long and 4-10 cm across in the wild, but normally smaller when cultivated. [[Flower]]s are produced in a 20 cm [[panicle]] of small [[umbel]]s, each umbel 7-10 mm diameter with 5-10 flowers.
