'''''Acer crataegifolium ''''' ('''Hawthorn-leaf Maple''' or '''Uri Maple'''), is a species of [[maple]] in the [[snakebark maple]] group, native to mountains forests of central and southern [[Japan]], on [[Honshū]] ([[Fukushima Prefecture|Fukushima]] southward), [[Kyūshū]] and [[Shikoku]].<ref name=kanon>Kanon tree book: [http://kanon101.cool.ne.jp/foto_sinrin/K_kaede/uri_kaede/uri_kaede.htm ''Acer crataegifolium''] (in Japanese; [http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=ja&u=http://kanon101.cool.ne.jp/foto_sinrin/K_kaede/uri_kaede/uri_kaede.htm&sa=X&oi=translate& google translation])</ref><ref name=kanagawa>Kanagawa Prefecture trees and shrubs: [http://www.geocities.jp/greensv88/jumoku-zz-urikaede.htm ''Acer crataegifolium''] (in Japanese; [http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=ja&u=http://www.geocities.jp/greensv88/jumoku-zz-urikaede.htm&sa=X&oi=translate& google translation]).

It is a [[deciduous]] small [[tree]] or [[shrub]] that grows to a height of 5–10 m, with a trunk up to 30 cm diameter. The [[bark]] is green to greenish-brown, with narrow vertical white or pale grey stripes; the young shoots are slender, green to purplish-red and the buds purplish-red. The [[leaf|leaves]] are 5-8&nbsp;cm (rarely to 15 cm) long and 4-7&nbsp;cm broad, dark green to bluish green and often tinged reddish above, paler green below, ovate-triangular, and may be either unlobed or three-lobed; the petiole is red, 2–3 cm long. The [[flower]]s are small, pale yellow, produced on arched to drooping [[raceme]]s 3–5 cm long. The [[fruit]] is a paired [[Samara (fruit)|samara]] 1–2&nbsp;cm long, pink or red maturing brown, with nutlets not more than 4&nbsp;mm wide.<ref name=kanon/><ref name=kanagawa/><ref name="gelderen"/><ref name=rushforth>Rushforth, K. (1999). ''Trees of Britain and Europe''. Collins ISBN 0-00-220013-9.</ref>

The Japanese name ''urikaede'' refers to the bark pattern resembling the skin of a melon, as also in the similar bark of ''[[Acer rufinerve]]'' (''urihadakaede'').<ref name=kanon/> The scientific name derives from the supposed resemblance of its leaves to those of [[Crataegus|hawthorns]] (''Crataegus''), though this is somewhat fanciful, only making sense if certain species of hawthorn are considered.<ref name=rushforth/>
 +

It is a somewhat difficult maple to propagate, and is rarely seen outside of sizable collections. Examples may be seen in [[Westonbirt Arboretum]] ([[Gloucestershire]], [[England]]) and the [[Arnold Arboretum]] ([[Boston, Massachusetts|Boston, USA]]). The rare [[cultivar]]s 'Me uri no ofu' and 'Veitchii' both have striking white and pink [[variegation]].<ref name="gelderen"/>
