Within the Panax series, Panax itself has the pedicel articulated under the flower, while in Fatsia and Acanthopanax the pedicel is continuous witli the flower. Fatsia is distinguished from the hardier and loss familiar but worthy Acanthopanax liy the greater length and distinctness of the styles While Fatsias require more care in the North than the hardy Aralias, their massive, subtropical appearance is highly distinct.
