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. Fatsia japonica, Decne. & Planch., remains in that genus, as treated on page 1204. CH
