Often treated as a subspecies of Acer tataricum (Govaerts & Hassler, 2022), but separated from that species by a 3,000 km range gap, and readily distinguished by morphology, with distinctly 3-lobed leaves glossy above [unlobed or barely lobed, matt above, in A. tataricum] (Mitchell, 1974; Rushforth, 1999).
