Talk:fatsi

RFV discussion: September–October 2012
When the plant was first described, it was given the scientific name Fatsia, after the alleged Japanese name, "fatsi" (apparently an archaic reading of 八, which is now read as hachi). The real name is, which means something like "8 fingers". The only place fatsi seems to appear in English is in parentheses after the scientific name, identified as the Japanese name for the plant. Is this a dictionary-only term? (the common names I'm familiar with are "Fatsia", and "Japanese Aralia"). Does anyone actually actually use it in running English text?
