From the Caucasus to W. China and the Himalayas.—Resembles A. platanoides, but lobes of lvs. entire and branches smooth; not quite hardy N. Var. sinicum, Rehd. Smaller in every part: lvs. 2 1/2-4 in. across, usually 5-lobed, subcordate or truncate at the base: wings of fr. about twice as long as nutlet. W. China. J.H.S. 29:358 (as A. laetum var. cultratum).—Very similar to A. pictum, but always easily distinguished by the smooth greenish bark of the younger branches. Var. tricaudatum, Rehd. Similar to the preceding, but lvs. 3-lobed. J.H.S. 29:357,358. Var. horticola, Rehd. (A. laetum var. rubrum, Schwerin; A. colchicum var. rubrum, Hort.). Lvs. blood-red, when unfolding.
