Editorial Note
Ma (2001) synonymises E. planipes with E. sachalinensis, treated separately by Bean. We reproduce his entries with their original nomenclature, largely unamended.
A deciduous shrub or small tree, closely akin to E. latifolius, and of similar habit and dimensions and with the same long, pointed winter buds. The leaves are like those of that species in most respects, but are coarsely toothed, and the stalk is not channelled on the upper side. The fruit is four- or five-lobed, as in E. latifolius, but differs in having the top conical; nor are the wings of each lobe flattened and knife-like as in E. latifolius. Except in these respects the two differ but little.
Native of Japan, Korea, the Russian Far East, and N.E. China; introduced to Kew from the Arnold Arboretum in 1895. It is quite as handsome a species as E. latifolius, both for its fruit and its red autumn colour, but only in recent years have its merits come to be at all widely appreciated.
