Octopus Tree or Umbrella Tree

Schefflera (Brassaia) actinophylla

Description:

The colourful flowers caught my eye. This is the first time I saw such a tree...and these flowers.

Habitat:

Roadside tree. However it was inside a walled compound, so I could not get any closer.

Notes:

Apparently the name Octopus Tree comes from the inflorescence. Schefflera actinophylla
