The plants are [[tree]]s, [[shrub]]s or [[liana]]s, growing 1-30 m 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. Several species are grown in pots as [[houseplant]]s, most commonly [[Schefflera actinophylla]], also known as the Umbrella Tree. Numerous [[cultivar]]s have been selected for various characters, most popularly for [[variegation|variegated]] or purple foliage. ''Schefflera'' species are used as food plants by the [[larva]]e of some [[Lepidoptera]]n species including ''[[Batrachedra|Batrachedra arenosella]]'' (recorded on ''S. stellata''). ==Name== The genus is named in honor of [[Jacob Christian Scheffler]], a 19th-century [[Germans|German]] botanist who wrote about ''[[Asarum]]''.<ref name=Genaust1983>Helmut Genaust (1983): Etymologisches Wörterbuch der botanischen Pflanzennamen, 2.
