Heptapleurum or Schefflera?

[greentree]

I am cunfused over the naming of the Heptapleurum/Schefflera plant. I was under the impression that it was H. Arboricola, and that calling it S. Arboricola was a common misconception. I am pretty sure that the two are not synonyms, as there are other Scheffleras, such as S. digitata, and S. octophyllum. Could anyone clear this up for me? -Thanks in Advance

These taxonomic databases list the plant as Schefflera arboricola:

USDA Germplasm Resources Information Network (GRIN)

RHS PLANT FINDER

Flora of China

GRIN lists Heptapleurum arboriculum as a synonym.

I've never heard of either a S. hepta... or a Hepta.. scheff. It's either Heptapleurum something else, or Schefflera arboricola.
