Acer morifolium
Acer morifolium, the mulberry-leaf maple, is a species of flowering plant in the family Sapindaceae.[3] It is endemic to the island of Yakushima, Japan.[2] A tree reaching 10 m (33 ft), it is found in forests from sea level up to the highest point on the island; 1,936 m (6,350 ft).[3][1] As its common and scientific names suggest, its leaves are very unlike most maples, and instead resemble the unlobed leaves of mulberries.[3] Although rare in commerce, and confined to a 505 km2 (195 sq mi) island in the wild, it is assessed as Least Concern.[3][1] References
