Sticky Substance on Leaves

Question

I have a rather large Parasol plant, which lately has a sticky almost sap-like substance on the leaves. I’ve also noticed very small, flat, hard, brown things on some of the leaves, which I can wipe off. There are also brown bumps on the stems of the plant as well. The plant is also losing leaves. Any thoughts on what is wrong with my plant and how to fix it?
