Aceraceae	Acer campestre	Hedge Maple	Suburban woodlands, planted and persistent and weakly spreading.	Native of Europe and w. Asia. Reported to be "occasionally spreading from cultivation to moist, rocky, disturbed woods" in sc. and se. PA (Rhoads & Klein 1993; Rhoads & Block 2007).
Aceraceae	Acer floridanum	Southern Sugar Maple, Florida Maple	Bottomland forests, mesic slopes, especially common over mafic or calcareous rocks, but not at all limited to such situations.	S. VA, w. KY, se. MO, e. OK, c. OK, and n. TX, south to c. peninsular FL and e. TX.
Aceraceae	Acer ginnala	Amur Maple	Cultivated, rarely and sparingly escaped to roadsides, disturbed areas, and suburban woodlands.	Native of e. Asia. Reported as "cultivated and occasionally escaped" in s. PA (Rhoads & Klein 1993; Rhoads & Block 2007).
Aceraceae	Acer grandidentatum	Canyon Maple, Bigtooth Maple	Limestone canyons.	C. TX, west to sw. MT, e. ID, w. WY, sw. CO, UT, NV, NM, AZ, w. TX, and Mexico (SON, CHH, COA, NLE, and TAM).
Aceraceae	Acer japonicum	Full Moon Maple	Uncommonly cultivated; rarely persistent or seeding down.	Native of Japan.
Aceraceae	Acer leucoderme	Chalk Maple	Rocky slopes and bluffs, particularly over mafic or calcareous rock, on the Gulf Coast in floodplains.	A species of se. North America, primarily of the Piedmont from NC to AL, less commonly in the Ridge and Valley of se. TN (Chester, Wofford, & Kral 1997), low Blue Ridge of w. NC and adjacent TN and GA, Coastal Plain of Panhandle FL, GA, AL, MS, LA, and se. TX, and in sw. AR and se. OK.
Aceraceae	Acer negundo var. negundo	Eastern Box Elder, Ash-leaved Maple, River Maple, Arce, Fresno de Guajuco	Riverbanks, swamps, bottomlands, also upslope on calcareous substrates.	The species ranges nearly across North America, including well into the arid west along rivers. Var. negundo occurs from NB west to MB, south to c. peninsular FL and TX.
Aceraceae	Acer negundo var. texanum	Great Plains Box Elder, Texas Box Elder	Floodplains.	Western and central North America.
Aceraceae	Acer nigrum	Black Maple	Riverbanks, streambanks, cove forests, river slope forests, especially over calcareous rocks.	NH west to MN, south to NC, GA, AL, AR, and KS, primarily west of the Appalachians.
Aceraceae	Acer palmatum	Japanese Maple	Suburban woodlands.	Native of e. Asia.
Aceraceae	Acer pensylvanicum	Striped Maple	Dry to mesic forests.	NS west to MB, south to w. NC, nw. SC, ne. GA, e. TN, WI, and MN.
Aceraceae	Acer pictum ssp. mono			A single specimen from e. TN purports to document this taxon in our area. It is apparently from a natural area, and shows leaf lobing features suggestive of this taxon, but seems more likely to represent an aberrant leaf form of A. saccharum.
Aceraceae	Acer platanoides	Norway Maple	Suburban woodlands, disturbed forests, hedgerows.	Native of Europe. In much of the ne. United States, A. platanoides has become a noxious weed tree.
Aceraceae	Acer pseudoplatanus	Sycamore Maple	Suburban woodlands.	Native of Europe. Planted widely in our area as a street and yard tree, especially in the mountains. Naturalizing from horticultural use in City of Alexandria (Simmons et al. 2020).
Aceraceae	Acer rubrum var. drummondii	Drummond’s Maple, Swamp Red Maple, Drummond’s Red Maple	Swamps and floodplains, often in deeply flooded situations.	A. rubrum var. drummondii is probably limited to the Mississippi River basin and its immediate tributaries; reports from more eastern areas likely represent pubescent extremes of Acer rubrum var. trilobum.
Aceraceae	Acer rubrum var. rubrum	Eastern Red Maple	Upland deciduous forests, up to at least 1500m elevation, moist bottomlands and slopes.	This variety is the most widespread and common in our area; indeed it is one of the most ubiquitous and common trees of e. North America.
Aceraceae	Acer rubrum var. trilobum	Carolina Red Maple	Wetlands, especially peaty, acid sites.	Primarily a Southeastern Coastal Plain variety, the range of var. trilobum is unclear, possibly extending well inland and northward.
Aceraceae	Acer saccharinum	Silver Maple, Soft Maple	Bottomlands, riverbanks, and disturbed areas.	NS west to SK, south to Panhandle FL, LA, and OK, rare and mostly introduced east of the Appalachians and south of VA.
Aceraceae	Acer saccharum var. saccharum	Sugar Maple, Hard Maple, Sugar-tree	Cove forests, other rich forests, especially over mafic and calcareous rocks, on calcareous soils common and typical in dry-mesic forests and dry woodlands as well, less typically extending to high elevation northern hardwood forests where sometimes in acidic situations (as in Highlands County, VA), in parts of the Piedmont perhaps more common as an introduction by ornamental planting than as a native, at least south of VA.	Var. saccharum is distributed from NS west to ND, south to n. GA, n. AL, and MO. A. saccharum var. saccharum is the primary source of maple sugar and maple syrup; formerly, commercial sugaring was done in w. NC and w. VA. Large individuals of this species are the favorite substrate of a number of lichens, including Lobaria pulmonaria. The brown, platy bark is often similar to that of Aesculus flava. For its bright orange fall color, A. saccharum var. saccharum is one of our most prized ornamental trees. In NC, it is most common northward and on mafic rocks, thus reaching perhaps its best development in the amphibolite peaks of Ashe, Watauga, Avery, and Mitchell counties; it is more general in more northern and more calcareous portions of our region.
Aceraceae	Acer saccharum var. schneckii	Scheck's Maple, Sugar Maple, Southern Hard Maple	Dry, dry-mesic, and mesic forests over calcareous substrates.	Acer saccharum var. schneckii Rehder is poorly understood, and may be distributed from sw. PA, s. OH, s. IN, s. IL, MO, south to nw. GA, n. AL, n. MS, sw. AR, and e. OK.
Aceraceae	Acer spicatum	Mountain Maple	High elevation forests (northern hardwoods or spruce-fir), generally above 1500 m in NC, above 900 m in VA, especially common in periglacial boulderfields.	NL (Newfoundland), NL (Labrador), and SK south to PA, OH, and IA, and in the mountains to w. NC, nw. SC (Bradley et al. [in prep.]), e. TN, ne. GA, and ne. AL.
Aceraceae	Acer tataricum	Tartarian Maple	Disturbed areas.	Native of Eurasia.
