<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A Boston ivy vine in Wylam, England</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">From <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parthenocissus_tricuspidata" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Wikipedia</a>:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Parthenocissus tricuspidata is a species of flowering plant in the grape family (Vitaceae) native to eastern Asia (Korea, Japan, and northern and eastern China), where it thrives in floodplain bushes, riverside woodland and moist mountain mixed forests. Although unrelated to true ivy, it is commonly known as Boston ivy, grape ivy, Japanese ivy, and also as Japanese creeper, and by the name woodbine (though the latter may refer to a number of different vine species).</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The specific epithet tricuspidata means three-pointed, referring to the leaf shape. Boston ivy is readily distinguished from the Virginia creeper (Parthenocissus quinquefolia) by its simple leaves with pointed lobes (Virginia creeper leaves are divided into five separate leaflets).</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A maple leaf in Wylam, England</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">From <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maple" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Wikipedia</a>:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Acer is a genus of trees and shrubs commonly known as maples. The genus is placed in the soapberry family Sapindaceae. There are approximately 132 species, most of which are native to East Asia, with a number also appearing in Europe, northern Africa, and North America. Only one species, Acer laurinum, extends to the Southern Hemisphere. The type species of the genus is the sycamore maple Acer pseudoplatanus, one of the most common maple species in Europe. Most maples usually have easily identifiable palmate leaves (with a few exceptions, such as Acer carpinifolium, Acer laurinum, and Acer negundo) and all share distinctive winged fruits. The closest relative of the maples is the small east Asian genus Dipteronia, followed by the more widespread genus Aesculus (buckeyes and horse-chestnuts).Maple syrup is made from the sap of some maple species. It is one of the most common genera of trees in Asia. Many maple species are grown in gardens where they are valued for their autumn colour and often decorative foliage, some also for their attractive flowers, fruit, or bark.</p>
