I see this thing all the time at a certain Home store.... not to mention any names here. Anyway, this is what one online review I found about it says:

Schefflera `Luseane' (Schefflera arboricola `Luseane') Anyone who thinks of schefflera as an uncontrollable monster hasn't been introduced to this petite member of the family. Schefflera `Luseane' has a mature height and width of only 2 to 3 feet. Requiring medium light, it is usually used as a houseplant or bonsai.
