Schefflera sp. nova NJM 10.086

We found this on Tay Con Linh Mountain, Ha Giang Province, N. Vietnam, a stones throw from the Chinese border, at 2425m asl. According to the late David Frodin, ex RBG Kew, this fits no known species so needs officially describing! A small evergreen tree to 6m in nature, with narrow heavily toothed foliage when young, each leaflet broadening with age and distinctly beige under with maturity. Black fruit in umbels on a raceme.
