Schefflera heptaphylla, Araliaceae. I took these photos today (Nov 18, 2023)! At the Guangdong Zoology Institute. I did not know this plant was right here! A very important winter nectar plant for bees in Southern China. Honey during this time of the year is mainly this plant and many species of Eurya (Theaceae). Chinese names are 鸭脚木(duck feet tree), 鹅掌柴(goose palm wood), 八叶五加 (eight leaved aralia)。
