−'''''Acer buergerianum''''' ('''Trident Maple''') is a species of [[maple]] native to eastern [[China]] (from [[Shandong]] west to southeastern [[Gansu]], south to [[Guangdong]] and southwest to [[Sichuan]]) and [[Taiwan]].<ref name=focd>Flora of China (draft): [http://web.archive.org/web/20060209210809/http://hua.huh.harvard.edu/china/mss/volume11/Aceraceae-AGH_coauthoring.htm Aceraceae]</ref><ref name=grin>Germplasm Resources Information Network: [http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/npgs/html/taxon.pl?1088 ''Acer buergerianum'']</ref> It is widely grown in temperate regions as an [[ornamental tree]].
−It is a small to medium-sized [[deciduous]] [[tree]] reaching a height of 5-20 m with a trunk up to 50 cm diameter. The [[leaf|leaves]] are in opposite pairs, 2.5-8 cm long (excluding the 2-5 cm petiole) and 3.5–6.5 cm broad, hard, glossy dark green above, paler below, usually with three lobes; on mature trees the lobes forward-pointing and with smooth margins, on young trees with more spreading lobes and serrated margins. The [[flower]]s are produced in spring, yellow-green, in pendulous [[corymb]]s; they are small, with five greenish sepals and five yellow-white petals about 2 mm long, and eight stamens. The [[fruit]] is a [[Samara (fruit)|samara]] with two winged [[seed]]s, each seed 4-7 mm diameter, with a 15 mm wing; the wings are forward-pointing and often overlapping each other.<ref name=focd/><ref name="gelderen">van Gelderen, C.J. & van Gelderen, D.M.

−==Species==
+==Varieties==
−Several interesting [[cultivar]]s have been developed, many of these bear Japanese names. Notable cultivars include 'Goshiki Kaede' (striking pink and green [[variegation]]), 'Kifu Nishiki' (roundish, almost un-lobed leaves), 'Mino Yatsubusa' (dwarf with long, narrow leaves) 'Mitsubato Kaede' (distinctive [[Cork (material)|cork]]-like trunk) and 'Naruto' (strongly incurved leaf surface).<ref name="gelderen"/>
−The species is variable, and a number of [[variety (biology)|varieties]] have been described:<ref name=focd/>
−*''Acer buergerianum'' var. ''buergerianum''. Hubei, Hunan, Jiangsu, Jiangxi, Shandong, Zhejiang.
+*''Acer buergerianum'' var. ''jiujiangense'' Z.X.Yu. Jiangxi.
+*''Acer buergerianum'' var. ''horizontale'' F.P.Metcalf. Southern Zhejiang.
+*''Acer buergerianum'' var. ''formosanum'' (Hayata ex Koidzumi) Sasaki. Taiwan (endemic).
+*''Acer buergerianum'' var. ''kaiscianense'' (Pampanini) W.P.Fang. Gansu, Hubei, Shaanxi.
+*''Acer buergerianum'' var. ''yentangense'' W.P.Fang & M.Y.Fang. Zhejiang.
+A few trees have consistently unlobed leaves; these were first described as a variety ''A. trifidium'' var. ''integrifolium'' Makino (''A. trifidium'' is an old synonym of ''A. buergerianum''), but are now not distinguished from the species.<ref name=makino>Makino Herbarium, Tokyo: [http://taxa.soken.ac.jp/makinodb/makino/prep_e/MAK151133.html ''Acer trifidium'']</ref> Occasional unlobed leaves also occur on most trees with otherwise normal three-lobed leaves.<ref name=afm>Mitchell, A.
