ACERACEAE


Acer

Acer campestre

Field Maple

Plants in new shrubberies were not recorded (should they be?). This species is found fairly frequently in the older hedges of Holderness and more relic plants were expected than actually encountered.

Acer pseudoplatanus

Sycamore

One of the most common large trees in the city. Many of the large specimens were deliberately planted but it seeds freely on waste land and railway embankments.
