“Aralia plants” are individuals from the Araliaceae family alongside the Schefflera plant (umbrella tree), Fatsia, Hedera (otherwise known as English ivy) and others. Some are woody plants, some are herbs, some are vines and some are trees. 

Remembered for this family is the variety, Polyscias articulated (pol-is’- si-as) which we usually call “Aralia.” This class incorporates around 116 Arlalia plant types of bushes and trees local to tropical Asia and Polynesia. 

A large number of these Aralia plants are extremely valuable as scene plants in tropical pieces of the world and some polyscias make incredible houseplants and office plants, for example, polyscias scutellaria, in less helpful atmospheres.
