It spreads extensively by sprouts from the [[root]] system underground.

The [[flower]]s are produced in a large umbel at the apex of the stem, each flower with 4-5 small white petals. The [[fruit]] is a small [[drupe]].

The [[pith]] from the stem is used to make a substance commonly known as [[rice paper]], but more properly termed [[pith paper]].

The species was once included in the genus ''[[Fatsia]]'' as ''Fatsia papyrifera''.
