[[Image:Scheflera1.jpg|thumb|A variegated cultivar of ''Schefflera arboricola'']]

'''''Schefflera''''' is a genus in the [[flowering plant]] family [[Araliaceae]]. 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'').

[[Image:Schefflera_wallichiana.jpg|thumb|''Schefflera wallichiana'']]

==Name==
The genus is named in honor of [[Jacob Christian Scheffler]], a [[Germans|German]] botanist who wrote about ''[[Asarum]]''.<ref name=Genaust1983>Helmut Genaust (1983): Etymologisches Wörterbuch der botanischen Pflanzennamen, 2. Auflage. Birkhäuser Verlag - ISBN 3-7643-1399-4</ref>
