| Sapindaceae | 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. |  |
| Sapindaceae | Acer rubrum var. rubrum | Eastern Red Maple, Scarlet 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. |  |
| Sapindaceae | Acer rubrum var. trilobum | Carolina Red Maple, Swamp Maple, Water 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. |  |
