1. Tetrapanax
Tetrapanax is an evergreen shrub in the family Araliaceae, the sole species in the genus Tetrapanax. It grows between 3–7 meters tall, usually with unbranched stems 2 cm in diameter, and bearing a rosette of large leaves atop the crown; the top of the plant can visually, albeit superficially, appear similar to a number of plants belonging to Arecaceae (the palm family). The inflorescence is a large panicle of hemispherical or globular umbels, at the end of the stem. The flowers have 4-6 small, white petals.
