'''''Acer rufinerve''''' ('''Redvein Maple''' or '''Honshū Maple'''), is a [[maple]] in the [[snakebark maple]] group, related to ''[[Acer capillipes]]'' (Kyushu Maple). It is native to mountains forests of [[Japan]], on [[Honshū]], [[Kyūshū]] and [[Shikoku]].<ref name=kobe>Kobe city: [http://shinrin.cool.ne.jp/sub131.html ''Acer rufinerve''] (in Japanese; [http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=ja&u=http://shinrin.cool.ne.jp/sub131.html&sa=X&oi=translate& google translation])</ref><ref name=kanagawa>Kanagawa Prefecture trees and shrubs: [http://www.geocities.jp/greensv88/jumoku-zz-urihadakaede.htm ''Acer rufinerve''] (in Japanese; [http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=ja&u=http://www.geocities.jp/greensv88/jumoku-zz-urihadakaede.htm&sa=X&oi=translate& google translation]).

The [[bark]] on young trees is smooth, olive-green with regular narrow vertical pale green to greyish stripes and small greyish [[lenticel]]s; on old trees, it becomes rough and grey. The [[leaf|leaves]] are three-lobed (occasionally five-lobed with two additional small basal lobes), double serrated, 8-16&nbsp;cm long and 6-16&nbsp;cm broad, matt to sub-shiny dark green above, paler below with small tufts of rusty hair on the veins when young, becoming glabrous when mature; the petiole is greenish (rarely pinkish), 3–5&nbsp;cm long. The leaves turn to bright orange or red in the autumn. The [[flower]]s are produced in [[raceme]]s 10&nbsp;cm long, each flower 8–10&nbsp;mm diameter, with five yellow to greenish-yellow sepals and petals; it is [[plant sexuality|dioecious]], with male and female flowers on separate trees. The [[fruit]] is a paired [[samara (fruit)|samara]] 2–3&nbsp;cm long with rounded nutlets. The scientific and English names derive from the reddish down on the veins, the Japanese name from the bark pattern.<ref name=kobe/><ref name=kanagawa/><ref name="gelderen"/><ref name=rushforth>Rushforth, K.

It does not display much variation as a species but a notable [[cultivar]] is 'Erythrocladum' with yellow-green in both its leaves and the stripes of its bark. [[Variegation|Variegated]] cultivars include 'Albolimbatum' and 'Hatsuyaki'.<ref name="gelderen"/><ref>Hort Net: [http://www.hort.net/gallery/view/ace/acerfha11/ 'Hatsuyaki']</ref> {{Inc| Acer rufinerve, Sieb. & Zucc.
