Acer wilsonii, (in Chinese: 三峡枫, meaning "Three Gorges maple"), is a species of flowering plant in the genus Acer, native to southeast and south-central China.[2] It is considered by some authorities to be a subspecies of Campbell's maple, Acer campbellii subsp. wilsonii, but this is incorrect; it is in its own species complex.[3] A tree typically 10 to 15 m tall, it prefers to grow in forests 900 to 2000 m above sea level.[4]
