Habitat: Swamps and floodplains, often in deeply flooded situations. Distribution: 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.

Origin/Endemic status: Endemic

Taxonomy Comments: Saeki et al. (2011) show some (chloroplast) gene exchange between Acer rubrum var. drummondii and A. saccharinum. Additional study of the Acer rubrum complex is needed.
