'''''Acer cappadocicum''''' ('''Cappadocian Maple''') is a [[maple]] native to [[Asia]], from central [[Turkey]] (ancient [[Cappadocia]]) east along the [[Caucasus]], the [[Himalaya]], to southwestern [[China]].<ref name=afm>Mitchell, A.

It is a medium-sized [[deciduous]] [[tree]] growing to 20-30 m tall with a broad, rounded crown. 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/>

Acer cappadocicum, Gled. (A. laetum, C. A. Mey.). Tree, to 50 ft.: lvs. 5-7-lobed, usually cordate, 3-6 in. across, glabrous, light green and lustrous beneath; lobes entire, acuminate: fls. greenish yellow, in upright peduncled corymbs: fr. with spreading wings, the wings usually 2-3 times as long as the nutlets. 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. Var. tricolor, Rehd. (A. laetum var. tricolor, Schwerin). Lvs. blood-red, sprinkled with rosy pink, when young. The last two beautiful forms usually remain shrubby. Var. aureum, Rehd. (A. laetum aureum, Hesse). Lvs. red and golden yellow.

There are three [[variety (biology)|varieties]], sometimes treated as [[subspecies]]:<ref name=bean/><ref name=rhs/>
 +
*'''''Acer cappadocicum'' var. ''cappadocicum'''''. Turkey, Caucasus, northern Iran.
 +
*'''''Acer cappadocicum'' var. ''indicum''''' (Pax) Rehd. (syn. var. ''cultratum'' (Wall.) Bean). Himalaya.
 +
*'''''Acer cappadocicum'' var. ''sinicum''''' Rehd. Southwestern China.
 +
 +
The closely related ''[[Acer lobelii]]'' from southern Italy is also treated as a subspecies of ''A. cappadocicum'' by some authors.<ref name=rhs/> The eastern Asian species ''[[Acer amplum]]'', ''[[Acer pictum]]'', and ''[[Acer truncatum]]'' are also very closely related, and often confused with ''A. cappadocicum'' in cultivation.<ref name=bean/>
