Gurcharan ji, I am not familiar with native (wild-growing) Schefflera plants. My posted plant is based on Shrikant ji's ID. In Western Ghats, peninsular India towards n-e India, we have *Heptapleurum venulosum* (Wight & Arn.) Seem. ... synonym of *Schefflera venulosa* from what I found in Cooke's flora<http://www.archive.org/stream/floraofpresidenc01cook#page/n591/mode/2up> . This species seems to be distributed to a larger extent than other.
Other natives distributed are (referenced from eflora of China and Nepal) -- for later reference: *Schefflera elliptica* (Blume) Harms shrub - (perhaps n-e India), Taiwan, Indo-China to Australia. *Schefflera pubigera* (Brongn. ex Planch.) Frodin (syn. *Schefflera bengalensis* Gamble) Himalayas to s-c China Schefflera elata (Buch.-Ham.) Harms tree - 1800-2100m Himalaya (Kumaun to Bhutan), Assam, Burma, s-w China Schefflera impressa (C. B. Clarke) Harms tree - 2000-3400m Himalaya (Kumaun to Bhutan), s-w China Schefflera hypoleuca (Kurz) Harms tree - Dense forests; ca. 1300 m. s China, India, Myanmar, Vietnam Schefflera racemosa (Wight) Harms tree - endemic s Western Ghats Looking at the purple rachis of your posted (and potted) plant, it could be *Schefflera venulosa*. The reasoning is weak, please consider it as a guess. Regards.
