An evergreen small tree of the Araliaceae family (APG classification: Araliaceae). It usually grows to about 5 meters tall, with yellowish-grayish bark. The leaves are alternate, thick, leathery, broadly ovate with 3-5 shallow lobes, 6-12 cm long, and long stalks. They flower in July and August in umbels at the ends of current-year branches, and are pale yellow-green. The drupes ripen to a dark purple color. They often grow in coastal areas, and are found in Honshu west of Miyagi Prefecture, Shikoku, Kyushu, Okinawa, the Korean Peninsula, and Taiwan. The name comes from the leaf shape, which resembles a raincoat. They are used for equipment and as garden trees, and the sap is called yellow lacquer and used as paint. There are 90 species of the Aralia genus in Asia and tropical America. [Yuichi Kadota November 17, 2021] The leaves are alternate, thick, leathery and broadly ovate.
