Acer kawakamii is a species of Asian maple and a plant endemic to Taiwan. It belongs to the family Sapindaceae (formerly Aceraceae) and the genus Acer.[1]

Description

It is a deciduous tree.

Taxonomy

This species was first named by Gen'ichi Koizumi in 1911[2] and subsequently described and illustrated in later academic articles.[3] However, no type specimen was cited; it was only mentioned that the type specimen was collected from the temperate forests of Mount Hakkutisan in Alishan. According to a study conducted by Chien-Yu Tseng in 2007, the approximate type specimen currently held at Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology (catalog number: DB No. 01924) is likely the one recognized by Gen'ichi Koizumi. Due to significant morphological variations, particularly in leaf morphology and the number of leaf lobes, the species has been differentiated into subspecies or varieties. However, since these characteristics are difficult to determine, Tseng suggested treating it as a single species.[4]
