Aceraceae Dolorosa et Jeromus

Abstract

A novel, apparent interspecific hybrid maple tree differs in characteristics from common maple tree species. These include in having a growth habit characterized by a substantially straight hole formed which conspicuously is an unbranched central leader, scaffold branches which are generally directed and exceedingly narrow when compared to those of other maple species, and attractive foliage which is unusually cut and which is not of the usual contrast in coloration and texture from to bottom surfaces. Also, the new tree is a seedless variety.

We claim: 
     
       1. A new and distinct variety of maple tree, Aceraceae "Dolorosa et Jeromus," as depicted, described and illustrated herein.
