Trevesia palmata is a small tree up to 6 m (20 ft) height. It is in the family Araliaceae, and is native to Southeast Asia,[1][2] from India to southern China. The common name is snowflake tree [3] The leaves can be very unusual, sometimes with a central leaflet to which as many as nine peripheral leaflets are attached. These leaflets may be lobed to various degrees, each attached to the central leaflet by a petiolule.[4][5]
