Photographed at the University of Liverpool Botanic Gardens last
Thurdays. I think it's one of the snake-barks, and lean towards Acer
capillipes.

The leaves and the raceme look like Acer pensylvanicum but not the
bark! This one is very tricky.

My snake bark leaves are much more incised Stewart.

There are several different species which have the snake-type bark!

I've got at least two very different ones from the Chiltern mixed Acer
seeds.

I'm not going to insist that it's a snake-bark, but that group seemed
the best match in Mitchell. There's several species of snake-bark maples
- Mitchell includes Aa. davidii, crataegifolium, pensylvanicum,
rufinerve, hersii, capillipes and forestii, and also mentions A.
laxiflorum. The degree of lobing varies within and between species; for
example some forms of A. davidii have, fide Mitchell, unlobed leaves.

I'd still think it's the pensylvanicum - though does the bark get its
stipes as the tree gets older?
