I commuted to work today with an enormous umbrella plant occupying the front seat and much of the back seat of my little Fiat 500 and I feel, on some level, that this dense forest canopy should have entitled me to use the HOV lane.

The Dwarf Umbrella #Tree, called #鹅掌藤 in Simplified #Chinese and #HeptapleurumArboricola in Scientific Latin, is a bush native to coastal #China and the island of #Taiwan.
The #evergreen #shrub produces #CalciumOxalate, toxic to animals and mildly to humans, but is cultivated #ornamentally for its #colorful #berries.
