There is a Maple referred to as a Mountain maple. Acer Spicadum. It is native to the northeast US.
I suppose there is a Palmatum that has been given a trade name of Mountain Maple , but I doubt it is a valid name.

Subject: [IBC] Mountain Maple question
Hi all,
After going through all my books and spending a fair amount of time on
the internet I am turning to the resources of rec.arts.bonsai for
help.
I have seen a few photographs of bonsai maples labeled simply as
"Mountain Maples". They seem to be acer palmatum but there is never a
mention of the variety (if that is the right term).
An example is in Craig Coussins "Totally Bonsai" on page 87 there is a
Mountain maple (acer palmatum).
My local bonsai retailer is going to the west coast this weekend to
buy stock from overseas. He has asked me just exactly what a Mountain
maple is in latin as there are many different types of maples to pick
from.
Is this a generic acer palmatum, if there is such a thing?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
