Schefflera is a genus of flowering plants in the family Araliaceae. With an estimated 600-900 species, the genus represents about half of its family. The plants are trees, shrubs or lianas, growing 4-20 metres (13-66 ft) tall, with woody stems, the absence of articulated pedicels and armaments, and palmately compound leaves.
Many species can be grown as houseplants in pots, including Schefflera Actinophylla (umbrella) and Schefflera Arboricola(dwarf umbrella). Numerous cultivars have been selected for various characters, most popularly for variegated or purple foliage. Schefflera are food plants for some Lepidopteran species, including Batrachedra Arenosella (recorded in S. Stellata). Schefflera arboricola and Schefflera actinophylla can be used to attract birds.
The genus is named in honor of Johann Peter Ernst von Scheffler (born in 1739), physician and botanist of Gdansk, and later of Warsaw, who contributed plants to Gottfried Reyger for Reygers book, ‘Tentamen Florae Gedanensis’.
