I was walking by the Sheraton in RTP and noticed a very interesting tree
outside the lobby. The leafs appear to be that of a Japanese maple, but one
I've never seen. The leave has typical balanced and pointed lobes as a
normal Jap Maple would. However, the leave is green with just a hint of
maroon near the stem. It also has 9 lobes... something I've haven't seen
before and drew me to the tree in the first place. Does anyone know what
species of Japanese maple tree this is?

Thanks, Johnnie

possibly a "thread leaf"? they are just beautiful

I just looked up threadleaf Japanese maple... that's not the one. It looks
similar but a lot fuller in the middle of the leaf and the nodes are much
broader.
