'''''Acer capillipes''''' ('''Kyushu Maple''' or '''Red Snakebark Maple'''), is a maple in the same [[taxon]]omic section as other [[snakebark maple]]s such as ''[[Acer pensylvanicum|A. pensylvanicum]]'', ''[[Acer davidii|A. davidii]]'' and ''[[Acer rufinerve|A. rufinerve]]''. It is native to mountainous regions in [[Japan]], on central and southern [[Honshū]] ([[Fukushima Prefecture]] southwards), [[Kyūshū]] and [[Shikoku]] islands, usually growing alongside mountain streams.<ref name=kanagawa>Kanagawa Prefecture trees and shrubs: [http://www.geocities.jp/greensv88/jumoku-zz-hosoekaede.htm ''Acer capillipes''] (in Japanese; [http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=ja&u=http://www.geocities.jp/greensv88/jumoku-zz-hosoekaede.htm&sa=X&oi=translate& google translation]).

The [[bark]] is smooth, olive-green with regular narrow vertical white stripes and small horizontal brownish [[lenticel]]s; it retains its pattern to the base even on old trees. The [[leaf|leaves]] are 10–15 cm long and 6-12 cm broad, with three or five lobes, the basal lobes of five-lobed leaves being small; they have a serrated margin, conspicuous veining, and a reddish 4–8 cm petiole. They are matt to sub-shiny green in summer, turning to bright yellow, orange or red in the autumn. The [[flower]]s are small, greenish-yellow, produced on 8–10 cm [[raceme]]s in late spring, erect at first but becoming pendulous, with male and female flowers on different racemes. The [[samara (fruit)|samara]] nutlets are 5 mm long, with a 2 cm long wing.<ref name=kanagawa/><ref name=tsukuba/><ref name=gelderen>van Gelderen, C. J. & van Gelderen, D. M. (1999).

When grown together with its close relatives, it may be distinguished from them by the additional presence of small, rust-orange spots on the bark.<ref name=gelderen/> [[Hybrid (biology)|Hybrids]] with ''A. davidii'' are frequent in cultivation.<ref name=rushforth/> :''More information about this species can be found on the [[Acer|genus page]].'' ==Cultivation== {{edit-cult}} ===Propagation=== {{edit-prop}} ===Pests and diseases=== {{edit-pests}} ==Cultivars== ==Gallery== {{photo-sources}} <gallery> Image:Upload.png| photo 1 Image:Upload.png| photo 2 Image:Upload.png| photo 3 </gallery> ==References==    ==External links== *{{wplink}} {{stub}} __NOTOC__
