Pseudopanax (Latin for "false ginseng") is a small genus of 7 species of evergreen plants which are endemic to New Zealand.

They reportedly grow well in Southern California and warmer parts of Great Britain.

These include 'Gold Splash', which has yellow variegated leaves, and 'Nigra' which has dark purple-brown foliage.

A National Trust listed specimen of Pseudopanax crassifolius exists on the Alton property at Mount Macedon, Victoria, Australia, which is 21 metres high and has an 11.5 m spread.

[4] In New Zealand various species in this genus have been shown to be the host plant for the larvae of Scolopterus penicillatus, a common endemic weevil.
