- ^ Sometimes considered a subspecies of A. opalus: A. o. subsp. hispanicus (Pourret) E.Murray)
- ^ Whether this or A. barbatum is the proper name of this taxon is subject to contention, though Michaux's original material was a mix of A. saccharum and A. rubrum. It is often treated as a subspecies of A. saccharum: A. s. subsp. floridanum (Chapm.) Desmarais.
- ^ Sometimes treated as a subspecies of A. saccharum: A. s. subsp. grandidentatum (Torr. & Gray) Desmarais.
- ^ Often treated as a subspecies of A. saccharum: A. s. subsp. leucoderme (Small) Desmarais.
- ^ Often treated as a subspecies of A. saccharum: A. s. subsp. nigrum (Michx.f.) Desmarais.
- ^ Sometimes treated as a subspecies of A. saccharum: A. s. subsp. skutchii (Rehder) E.Murray.

- ^ Sometimes considered a subspecies of A. tataricum: A. t. subsp. aidzuense (Franch.) De Jong
- ^ Sometimes considered a subspecies of A. tataricum: A. t. subsp. ginnala (Maxim.) Wesm.
- ^ Now often considered a subspecies of A. sterculiaceum: A. s. subsp. franchetii (Pax) E.Murray.

- ^ Now often considered a subspecies of A. davidii: A. d. subsp. grosseri (Pax) De Jong.
- ^ Sometimes considered a subspecies of A. pectinatum: A. p. subsp. laxiflorum (Pax) E.Murray.
- ^ Sometimes considered a subspecies of A. pectinatum: A. p. subsp. maximowiczii (Pax) E.Murray. Not to be confused with A. maximowiczianum Miq.
- ^ Sometimes treated as a subspecies of A. cissifolium: A. c. subsp. henryi (Pax) E.Murray.
- ^ Also "Fulmoon Maple", which is also used for A.japonicum. This is made more complex by A. japonicum var. microphyllum being a synonym of A. shirasawanum.
- ^ Often treated as a subspecies of A. campbellii: A. c. subsp. flabellatum (Rehder) E.Murray.
- ^ Sometimes treated as a subspecies of A. campbellii: A. c. subsp. oliverianum (Pax) E.Murray

- ^ Often treated as a subspecies of A. campbellii: A. c. subsp. wilsonii (Rehder) De Jong.
- ^ The homonyms A. montanum Garsault and A. montanum Daléchamps ex Lam. are synonyms of A. pseudoplatanus and A. opalus respectively.
- ^ Sometimes classified as a subspecies of A. caudatum: A. c. subsp. ukurunduense (Trautvetter & Meyer) E.Murray.
- ^ Often treated as a synonym of A. oblongum
- ^ Possibly a synonym of either A. kwangnanense or A. paxii
- ^ Sometimes treated as a subspecies of A. longipes: A. l. subsp. amplum (Rehder) De Jong.
- ^ Sometimes treated as a subspecies of A. platanoides: A. p. subsp. lobelii (Ten.) Gams, or A. cappadocicum: A. c. subsp. lobelii (Ten.) De Jong.
- ^ Sometimes considered a subspecies of A. miyabei: A. m. subsp. miaotaiense (P.C.Tsoong) E.Murray.
- ^ van Gelderen (p. 245) concludes this is probably an aberrant A. platanoides closer to cultivar status.
- ^ The identity of the second parent is uncertain, with these two species cited by different authors.
