Acer pseudoplatanus, the sycamore maple, is a species of maple native to Central Europe and Southwestern Asia, from France eastwards to Ukraine, and south in mountains to northern Spain, northern Turkey, and the Caucasus. It is not related to other trees called sycamore or plane tree in the Platanus genus. Its apparent similarity to the species of that genus led to its being named pseudoplatanus, using the prefix pseudo- (from the Ancient Greek for "false"). Other common names for the tree include false plane-tree, great maple, Scottish maple, mock-plane, sycamore, or Celtic maple.
