Which plant is referred to as Aralia?

Aralia refers to plants belonging to the genus Aralia, which includes various species that are often used as ornamental plants. The correct answer is Schefflera sp., commonly known as the umbrella tree or schefflera. This genus is included in the Araliaceae family, which is the same family that includes the Aralia genus. Because Schefflera species share several characteristics with Aralia, they are often associated with it in horticultural contexts.

Understanding this connection is important in plant identification and classification since many plants can share common names, leading to confusion. In contrast, the other plant species listed do not belong to the Araliaceae family and have distinct botanical classifications that do not relate to Aralia in this context.
