Biology:Heptapleurum
Heptapleurum is a genus of flowering plants in the family Araliaceae, the ivy or ginseng family. These plants are native to Southeast Asia: Malesia, Papuasia, southern China, Vietnam, the Indian Subcontinent, Tibet, Hainan, Taiwan, Japan, and Australia.[1] The genus was phylogenetically resurrected from the genus Schefflera in 2020.[2] It is currently the largest genus of Araliaceae[2] with 321 accepted species.[1]
Heptapleurum includes species commonly grown as houseplants or garden ornamentals (such as Heptapleurum arboricola)[3][4]. Many species are threatened, endangered, or critically endangered by deforestative habitat loss and extreme endemism, such as Heptapleurum acuminatissimum, which is known only from a single location with an estimated extent of occurrence of only 4 km2.[5][6][7]
They are commonly scrambling subshrubs to small trees, with many epiphytic and vining members.
