Schefflera trevesioides tomentosa

(Schefflera trevesioides tomentosa)

Description

Schefflera is a genus of flowering plants in the family Araliaceae. The plants are trees, shrubs or lianas, growing 1-30 metres (3 ft 3 in-98 ft 5 in) 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.
