−'''''Acer tataricum''''' ('''Tatar Maple''' or '''Tatarian Maple''') is a species of [[maple]] native to central and southeastern [[Europe]] and southwestern [[Asia]], from [[Austria]] east to southwestern [[Russia]] and the [[Caucasus]], and south to [[Turkey]]. The species is named after the [[Tatars|Tatar peoples]] of southern Russia; the tree's name is similarly commonly also spelled "Tartar" in English.<ref name=rushforth>Rushforth, K. (1999). ''Trees of Britain and Europe''. Collins ISBN 0-00-220013-9.</ref><ref name=ecosystema>Ecosystema: [http://www.ecosystema.ru/08nature/trees/42.htm ''Acer tataricum''] (in Russian; [http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=ru&u=http://www.ecosystema.ru/08nature/trees/42.htm&sa=X&oi=translate& google translation])</ref>
+It is a [[deciduous]] spreading [[shrub]] or small [[tree]] growing to 4-12 m tall, with a short trunk up to 20-50 cm diameter and slender branches. The [[bark]] is thin, pale brown, and smooth at first but becoming shallowly fissured on old plants. The [[leaf|leaves]] are opposite and simple, broadly ovate, 4.5-10 cm long and 3-7 cm broad, unlobed or with three or five shallow lobes, and matt green above; the leaf margin is coarsely and irregularly toothed; the leaf petiole is slender, often pink-tinged, 2-5 cm long. The [[flower]]s are whitish-green, 5-8 mm diameter, produced in spreading panicles in spring as the leaves open. The [[fruit]] is a paired reddish [[samara (fruit)|samara]], 10-12 mm long with a 2-3 cm wing, maturing in late summer to early autumn.<ref name=rushforth/><ref name=ecosystema/>
+
+It is related to ''[[Acer ginnala]]'' (Amur Maple) from northeastern Asia; this is treated as a [[subspecies]] of Tatar Maple (''Acer tataricum'' subsp. ''ginnala'') by some botanists. They differ conspicuously in the glossy, deeply lobed leaves of ''A. ginnala'', compared to the matt, unlobed or only shallowly lobed leaves of ''A. tataricum''.<ref name=rushforth/>
+
+Tatar Maple is occasionally grown as an ornamental plant in gardens throughout Europe and also in North America. In Russia, it is valued in farmland [[shelterbelt]]s.<ref name=ecosystema/> It is locally [[naturalisation (biology)|naturalised]] in eastern North America.<ref name=rushforth/><ref name=usda>USDA Plant Profile: [http://plants.usda.gov/java/profile?symbol=ACTA80 ''Acer tataricum'']</ref>

+Acer tataricum, Linn. Shrub or small tree, 20 ft.: lvs. roundish oval or oblong, cordate, sometimes slightly lobed, 2-4 in. long, doubly serrate, nearly glabrous: fls. in long-peduncled panicleSj white: wings of fr. nearly upright or slightly spreading, bright red in summer.
