WHAT DOES FATSIA MEAN IN ENGLISH?

fatsia

Fatsia

Fatsia is a small genus of three species of evergreen shrubs native to southern Japan and Taiwan. They typically have stout, sparsely branched stems bearing spirally-arranged, large leathery, palmately lobed leaves 20–50 cm in width, on a petiole up to 50 cm long, and small creamy-white flowers in dense terminal compound umbels in late autumn or early winter, followed by small black fruit. Fatsia japonica, known as Fatsi or Japanese Aralia, is a shrub growing to 3–6 m tall. The leaves have 7-9 broad lobes, divided to half or two-thirds of the way to the base of the leaf; the lobes are edged with coarse, blunt teeth. It is native to southern Japan. The name "Fatsi" is older Japanese, meaning 'eight', referring to the eight lobes. In Japanese, it is called Yatsude meaning "eight hand". The name 'Japanese Aralia" is due to the genus formerly being classified within a broader interpretation of the related genus Aralia in the past. It is a popular garden shrub in areas where winters do not fall below about -15°C.

Definition of fatsia in the English dictionary

The definition of fatsia in the dictionary is any shrub of the araliaceous genus Fatsia, esp F. japonica, with large deeply palmate leaves and umbels of white flowers.
