− | __NOTOC__{{Plantbox
| + | '''''Schefflera''''' ({{pron-en|ˈʃɛflərə}})<ref>''Sunset Western Garden Book,'' 1995:606–607</ref> is a genus in the [[flowering plant]] family [[Araliaceae]]. The plants are [[tree]]s, [[shrub]]s or [[liana]]s, growing 1-30 m tall, with woody stems and palmately-compound leaves. The circumscription of the genus has varied greatly. Phylogenetic studies have shown that the widely-used broad circumscription as a pantropical genus of over 700 species is [[polyphyletic]], but it remains to be seen how this will affect the classification of the genus. |
