Schefflera Actinophylla is a flowering plant species that is native to Australia. It is commonly known as the Umbrella Tree due to the shape of its leaves. However, this plant is also known by several other names such as the Octopus Tree, Queensland Umbrella Tree, and Australian Ivy Palm. The name Octopus Tree comes from the plant's unique and wriggly-shaped trunk. The Queensland Umbrella Tree name comes from its origin and the shape of its leaves. The Australian Ivy Palm tag serves as a metaphor for the plant's tiny flowers resembling grapes growing on vines. Regardless of its synonym, this plant adds a touch of natural beauty to indoor and outdoor spaces.
