Appearance and leaves

All Fiederaralien species are evergreen, woody plants that grow as small to large trees or shrubs . They are not reinforced and the parts of the plant above ground are often bare. In some species, the vegetative parts of the plant smell pungent aromatic.

The alternate, often heaped on the end of the branches arranged leaves are divided into petiole and leaf blade. The leaf blade is imparipinnate one to five parts. The nodes of the leaf hachis are constricted and it is articulated together with the stalks of the leaflets. The leaflets are entire to notched or serrate. The two stipules sometimes sit on the petiole (intrapetiolar) and are fused with this or form a winged petiole, are reduced to scales or are absent.

Inflorescences and flowers

The flowers are rarely hermaphroditic or mostly unisexual. If the flowers are unisexual, then the Polyscias species are either andromonocial or, less often, dioecious . The terminal, paniculate entire inflorescence is composed of dold -like , head-shaped or spike-like partial inflorescences . Some species have a terminal umbel with hermaphrodite flowers and one or more male flowers standing on the side (Andromonözisch). The flower stalk is articulated along with the base of the ovary; the flowers are rarely sessile.

The flowers are radial symmetry and four or five, rarely up to eight or more, with a double flower envelope . The four or five sepals , rarely up to 8 or more , only form a corrugated rim or four or five, rarely up to 8 or more small calyx teeth are recognizable. The four or five, rarely up to eight or more petals are valvate . There is only one circle with four or five, rarely up to 8 or more free stamens . The dust bags open with a longitudinal slit. Most four or five, rarely up to eight or more carpels are to travel for four or five, rarely up to eight or multi-chamber under constant ovary grown. The durable four or five, rarely up to 8 or more styluses are free or, more rarely, differently fused at the base.

Fruits and seeds

The stone fruits are cylindrical or laterally flattened and contain a seed. The flattened seed has a smooth endosperm .

Systematics and distribution

The genus Polyscias was established in 1775 by Johann Reinhold Forster and Georg Forster in Characteres Generum Plantarum , Volume 63, p. 32. The type species is Polyscias pinnata J.R. Forst. & G.Forst. Synonyms for Polyscias J.R. Forst. & G.Forst. are: Bonnierella R.Vig. , Botryopanax Miq. , Dipanax Seem. , Eremopanax Baill. , Eupteron Miq. , Gelibia Hutch. , Grotefendia Seem. , Indokingia Hemsl. , Irvingia F. Muell. nom. illeg., Kissodendron Seem. , Maralia Thouars , Montagueia Baker f. , Nesodoxa Calest. , Nothopanax Miq. , Oligoscias Seem. , Palmervandenbroekia Gibbs , Peekeliopanax Harms , Pterotropia W.F. Hillebr. , Sciadopanax Seem. , Shirleyopanax Domin , Tieghemopanax R.Vig. , Triplasandra Seem.

According to the publication by Lowry II & Plunkett in 2010, the species of the genera Arthrophyllum Blume , Cuphocarpus Decne. & Planch. , Gastonia Comm. ex Lam. , Munroidendron Sherff , Reynoldsia A.Gray and Tetraplasandra A.Gray also placed in the genus Polyscias .

The genus Polyscias belongs to the subfamily Aralioideae within the family of Araliaceae .

The genus Polyscias was divided into ten subgenera in 2010 ( Polyscias subg. Polyscias , Polyscias subg. Grotenfendia (Seem.) R.Vig. , Polyscias subg. Maralia (Thouars) Lowry & GMPlunkett , Polyscias subg. Arthrophyllum (Blume) Lowry & GMPlunkett , Polyscias Subg. Cuphocarpus (Decne. & Planch.) Lowry & GMPlunkett , Polyscias subg. Tetraplasandra (A.Gray) Lowry & GMPlunkett , Polyscias subg. Eupteron (Miq.) Lowry & GMPlunkett , Polyscias subg. Sciadopanax (Seem.) Lowry , Polyscias subg. Tieghemopanax (R.Vig.) Lowry & GMPlunkett , Polyscias subg. Indokingia (Hemsl.) Lowry & GMPlunkett ).

The genus Polyscias is distributed in the Paleotropic in tropical Africa , Madagascar , Southeast Asia , Australia (about ten species) and in the western Pacific region.

use

Polyscias species are used in traditional medicine in Southeast Asia . Polyscias filicifolia , for example, is described in the official Vietnamese pharmacopoeia as a stimulant and agent for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. Polyscias fruticosa is cultivated in China and used as a medicinal plant.

Some Polyscias species, for example Polyscias cumingiana , Polyscias filicifolia , Polyscias fruticosa , Polyscias guilfoylei , Polyscias nodosa , Polyscias scutellaria , and their varieties are used in tropical areas as ornamental plants in parks and gardens, for example as a hedge. Some species, for example Polyscias balfouriana , Polyscias filicifolia , Polyscias scutellaria , Polyscias guilfoylei, and Polyscias fruticosa and their varieties, are used as indoor plants . Some varieties of Polyscias balfouriana and Polyscias fruticosa can tolerate light frost (around −1 ° C).

The resin from Polyscias sambucifolia is used.
