This is a Schefflera
In the 1970’s I used to call all house plants Schefflera. It was easier than remembering the actual names and it always got a laugh. I have moved on to misnaming other things like hardware stores and medications but my friends Larry and Kelly H. reminded me of the schefflera story when we went to dinner recently.
BTW this Schefflera is available for adoption pot trained and ready to go.

Kellie: Those were the days. I wish I could remember them.
My ex-wife and I had many house plants in those days. I remember one Saturday afternoon my mother-in-law came to visit. Being a plant lover, she went around the living room naming each plant admiringly. She came to one big, healthy plant, sitting in the corner with plenty of sunshine on it, that she didn’t recognize:
M-I-L: “Well, this is certainly a beautiful plant but I’m not familiar with it. What is it, honey?
Ex-wife: “Mom,” said with annoying exasperation, it’s a marijuana plant.”
M-I-L: Jaw-dropping shock …….. speechless
