Acer rufinerve, the grey-budded snake-bark-maple,[4] redvein maple or Honshū maple (Japanese: ウリハダカエデ urihadakaede, "melon-skin maple"), is a species of tree in the snakebark maple group, related to Acer capillipes (Kyushu maple). It is native to mountain forests of Japan, on Honshū, Kyūshū and Shikoku.[5][6][7][8]
