Description
This women's tee is made from 6.1 oz 100% ring-spun US cotton in a boxy, slightly cropped mid-length cut. It features a topstitched ribbed collar, shoulder-to-shoulder twill tape, a seamless body, and a double-needle bottom hem. Dyed with OEKO-TEX certified low-impact dyes in a WRAP-certified facility, using a salt-free clean pigment process that uses about half the water of conventional pigment dyeing. Boxy fit, sizes S–2XL — it runs close to the body, so size up for a looser drape. Slight shade variation between garments is normal.

Meet octopus tree
Heptapleurum actinophyllum (Endl.) Lowry & G.M.Plunkett
Octopus tree takes its common name from the long, outward-radiating branches of its flower display. Small red flowers gather along these arms above the foliage. The same tree is often called umbrella tree because its leaflets spread from a central point, making each compound leaf look like an open umbrella. Missouri Botanical Garden: Heptapleurum actinophyllum
Native range
It is native from southern New Guinea into northern Australia. Australian rainforest botanists record it from near sea level to about 1,000 metres, most often in rainforest but also in wetter open forest. Plants may grow directly on the ground, on rocks or as epiphytes in tree crowns. Kew POWO: Heptapleurum actinophyllumAustralian Tropical Rainforest Plants: Schefflera actinophylla
Ecological relationships
The flowers attract insects, including introduced honey bees, and nectar- or pollen-feeding birds. Australian Tropical Rainforest Plants: Schefflera actinophylla
Several bird species eat the fruits, including the brown cuckoo-dove. Australian Tropical Rainforest Plants: Schefflera actinophylla
