10. Field maple - Érable champêtre (Acer campestre)

Description

EN : The only true native maple is the field maple or Spanish barge. However, the common maple (A. pseudoplatanus) and the Norway maple (A. platanoides) are also common. Acer is the Latin word for sharp. The Romans used the wood to manufacture spears. Maples usually have palmately incised leaves and winged nuts that are scattered with the wind like helicopters. In the Botanic Garden we also have a nice collection of exotic maples such as Japanese and Chinese maples or American ones, such as the sugar maple, whose leaves are depicted on the Canadian flag.

FR : Le seul érable indigène est l'érable champêtre, mais l'érable sycomore (Acer pseudoplatanus) et l'érable plane (A. platanoides) sont également très fréquents. Acer signifie and latin 'acéré'. Les Romains fabriquaient des lances avec ce bois. Les érables ont en général des feuilles découpées en forme de mains et des fruits ailés appelés samares. Le vent les emporte et ils tournoient en l'air comme de petits hélicoptères. Le Jardin botanique présente également une belle collection d'érables exotiques, comme les érables du Japon et de Chine et l'érable à sucre du Canada, don't la feuille est représentée sur le drapeau canadien.
