Hybrid paperbark maple (Acer griseum x maximowiczianum) is a very rare maple that features beautiful red fall color and attractive cinnamon stick-like exfoliating bark. This small tree is a hybrid of two Chinese species, both of which have trifoliate leaves. 

Recently the Flora of China editorial committee reversed earlier judgements on the nomenclature for paperbark maples, and recommends that all Acer maximowicizianum be referred to as Acer nikoense.
