This question was actually for Usha di
Now I understood after Gurcharanji's reply.
The common name Japanese maple includes at least two botanically named
species
*Acer japonicum* and *Acer palmatum* which again has 3 recognized subspecies
and many cultivars....(Wikipedia)
- *Acer palmatum* subsp. *palmatum*. Leaves small, 4–7 cm wide, with five
or seven lobes and double-serrate margins; seed wings 10–15 mm. Lower
altitudes throughout central and southern Japan (not Hokkaido).
- *Acer palmatum* subsp. *amoenum* (Carrière) H.Hara. Leaves larger,
6–12 cm wide, with seven or nine lobes and single-serrate margins; seed
wings 20–25 mm. Higher altitudes throughout Japan and South Korea.
- *Acer palmatum* subsp. *matsumurae* Koidz. Leaves larger, 6–12 cm wide,
with seven (rarely five or nine) lobes and double-serrate margins; seed
wings 15–25 mm. Higher altitudes throughout Japan
