  4. Whether this or A. barbatum is the proper name of this taxon is subject to contention, though Michaux's original material was a mix of A. saccharum and A. rubrum. It is often treated as a subspecies of A. saccharum: A. s. subsp. floridanum (Chapm.) Desmarais.
  5. Sometimes treated as a subspecies of A. saccharum: A. s. subsp. grandidentatum (Torr. & Gray) Desmarais.
  6. Often treated as a subspecies of A. saccharum: A. s. subsp. leucoderme (Small) Desmarais.
  7. Often treated as a subspecies of A. saccharum: A. s. subsp. nigrum (Michx.f.) Desmarais.
  8. Sometimes treated as a subspecies of A. saccharum: A. s. subsp. skutchii (Rehder) E.Murray.
  9. Sometimes considered a subspecies of A. tataricum: A. t. subsp. ginnala (Maxim.) Wesm.
  10. Sometimes considered a subspecies of A. pectinatum: A. p. subsp. maximowiczii (Pax) E.Murray. Not to be confused with A. maximowiczianum Miq.
  11. Sometimes treated as a subspecies of A. cissifolium: A. c. subsp. henryi (Pax) E.Murray.
  12. Often treated as a subspecies of A. campbellii: A. c. subsp. flabellatum (Rehder) E.Murray.
  13. Sometimes treated as a subspecies of A. campbellii: A. c. subsp. oliverianum (Pax) E.Murray
  14. Also "fullmoon maple", which is also used for A.japonicum. This is made more complex by A. japonicum var. microphyllum being a synonym of A. shirasawanum.
  15. Often treated as a subspecies of A. campbellii: A. c. subsp. sinense (Rehder) De Jong.
  16. Often treated as a subspecies of A. campbellii: A. c. subsp. wilsonii (Rehder) De Jong.
  17. Sometimes treated as a subspecies of A. longipes: A. l. subsp. amplum (Rehder) De Jong.
  18. Sometimes treated as a subspecies of A. platanoides: A. p. subsp. lobelii (Ten.) Gams, or A. cappadocicum: A. c. subsp. lobelii (Ten.) De Jong.
  19. Sometimes considered a subspecies of A. miyabei: A. m. subsp. miaotaiense (P.C.Tsoong) E.Murray.
  20. van Gelderen (p. 245) concludes this is probably an aberrant A. platanoides closer to cultivar status.
  21. The identity of the second parent is uncertain, with these two species cited by different authors.
