Fatsia japonica (Thunb.) Decne. & Planch., Rev. Hort. IV, 3: 105 1854. (syn: Aralia japonica Thunb.; Aralia sieboldii K.Koch; Dimorphanthus japonicus (Thunb.) Endl.; Echinopanax japonicus (Thunb.) Kuntze; Fatsia japonica var. liukiuensis Hatus. ex H.Ohba; Fatsia japonica var. lobulata Makino); Fatsia japonica (fatsi or Japanese aralia; syn. Aralia japonica Thunb., A. sieboldii Hort. ex K.Koch) is a species of flowering plant in the family Araliaceae, native to southern Japan and South Korea. It is an evergreen shrub growing to 3–6 m (9.8–19.7 ft) tall, with stout, sparsely branched stems. The leaves are spirally-arranged, large, 20–50 cm (7.9–19.7 in) in width and on a petiole up to 50 cm (20 in) long, leathery, palmately lobed, with 7–9 broad lobes, divided to half or two-thirds of the way to the base of the leaf; the lobes are edged with coarse, blunt teeth. The flowers are small, white, borne in dense terminal compound umbels in late autumn or early winter, followed by small black fruit. It is commonly grown as an ornamental plant in warm temperate regions where winters do not fall below about -15°C. F. japonica have been shown to effectively remove gaseous formaldehyde from indoor air.[1] The sap, which is sticky and resinous, can cause contact dermatitis in sensitive people.

Garden Plant for ID : Atlanta, Georgia : 24JAN19 : AK-53 : 7 posts by 3 authors. Attachments (4) A garden plant seen in my friend's garden in Atlanta. To me, it looks like Japanese Aralia, Fatsia japonica. Experts kindly validate. yes. not only the large glossy leaves and its growth habit, the tightly closed flower bud clinches it for me. your idea is correct Leaves look different from images at agree ... but revisiting ... pictures. they seem to be ubnder duress??? dry climate may be??? and he does not have pic of full face of the leaves and no pics of flowers etc. where as Aarti's pictures show all typical features On further checking (including flower buds) as per the following, I agree with you:
Seen in the garden during my visit in October, 2018. With variegated leaves. Carica sp.? Not Carica. Could be Fatsia Species. May be Fatsia japonica 'Variegata' as per Thanks … I think you are right. References: The Plant List Ver.1.1 WCSP Wikipedia Dave’s Garden RHS |
