Name

Acer tataricum L., Sp. Pl.: 1054. 1753.
Note: Hassler (2020) treats Acer ginnala as a subspecies, while the Euro+Med Plantbase treats it as a species. Govaerts (2020) does not inform on its status (and does not include it in the A. tataricum treatment & map). Many others also treat it as a distinct species (including infrataxa aidzuense and theiferum) given the major range disjunction (c.3,000 km) and substantial differences in leaf shape.
