'''''Fatsia japonica''''' ('''Fatsi''' or '''Japanese Aralia'''; [[synonymy|syn.]] ''Aralia japonica'' Thunb., ''A. sieboldii'' Hort. ex [[K.Koch]]) is a species of ''[[Fatsia]]'', native to southern [[Japan]].
It is an [[evergreen]] [[shrub]] growing to 3-6 m tall, with stout, sparsely branched stems. The [[leaf|leaves]] are spirally-arranged, large, 20-50 cm in width and on a petiole up to 50 cm long, leathery, palmately lobed, with 7-9 broad lobes, divided to half or two-thirds of the way to the base of the leaf; the lobes are edged with coarse, blunt teeth. The [[flower]]s are small, white, borne in dense terminal compound [[umbel]]s in late autumn or early winter, followed by small black [[fruit]].
It is commonly grown as an [[ornamental plant]] in warm temperate regions where winters do not fall below about -15°C.

Japan, China.—Abroad are cult, forms with white or golden margins and a form reticulated with gold markings. Var.
