Acer pectinatum is an Asian species of maple that is native to the Himalayas and nearby mountains in southwestern China, Myanmar, and the northeastern part of the Indian Subcontinent.[4] It is a spreading deciduous tree up to 20 m (66 ft) tall in the wild,[5] with brown bark. The leaves are non-compound, leathery, up to 10 cm wide and 8 cm across, toothless, usually with 5 lobes but sometimes 3, the lobes toothed along the edges.[4] The leaves of mature trees turn brilliant shades of yellow and orange before falling off in autumn.[5]
