Wikipedia Abstract

Polyscias maraisiana (fr: Bois bœuf / Bois d’éponge. eng: Ox Tree.) is a species of plant in the Araliaceae family, formerly named Gastonia mauritiana. It is endemic to Mauritius, where it was formerly common on forest verges and also in coastal areas. It was formerly grown as an ornamental in Europe, partly on account of its strikingly heteroblastic leaves, however it is rarely found in international cultivation now. It is however beginning to be cultivated in its native country, as an ornamental landscaping plant - for gardens and public areas. \n* Young sapling \n*
