Acer sinense is a species of flowering plant in the genus Acer, native to southeast and south-central China.[2] It is highly morphologically variable species, leading to taxonomic confusion, but good traits to distinguish it from members of the Acer wilsonii species complex are that its inflorescence is a compound corymbose panicle with 60 to 70 flowers, with pedicels that are 5 to 6 mm long, its ovaries are pillose, appearing white, and its nutlet is nearly glabrous, and convex, without any veins.[3]
