Seemannaralia

Seemannaralia gerrardii, commonly known as the wild-maple or mock carrot tree, is a species of flowering plant in the family Araliaceae.

It is the sole member of genus Seemannaralia, and is endemic to South Africa, where it occurs in the Eastern Cape, KwaZulu-Natal, Limpopo and Mpumalanga provinces.

Seemann- and gerrardii commemorate Berthold Seemann and William Gerrard respectively, while -aralia suggests the family or its type genus, Aralia.

The leaf shape is characteristic: maple-like, palmate and 3 to 7 lobed.

The small, yellowish green flowers are produced in autumn,[3] in axillary and terminal panicles of umbels.
