The [[leaf|leaves]] are opposite, [[leaf shape|palmate]]ly lobed with 5-7 lobes, 6-15 cm across. The leaf stems bleed a milky [[latex]] when broken. The [[flower]]s are in [[corymb]]s of 15-30 together, yellow-green with five petals 3-4 mm long; flowering occurs in early spring. The [[fruit]] is a double [[Samara (fruit)|samara]] with two winged [[seed]]s, the seeds are disc-shaped, strongly flattened, 6-11 mm across and 2-3 mm thick. The wings are 2.5-3 cm long, widely spread, approaching a 180° angle. The bark is greenish-grey, smooth in young trees, becoming shallowly grooved in mature.<ref name=afm/><ref name=afm2/><ref name=rhs/><ref name=rushforth/> {{Inc| Acer cappadocicum, Gled.
