Planetree Maple, Acer pseudoplatanus L.

I will preface this post by saying that I could be completely wrong about how I'm identifying all of these trees. But people are free to correct me if they have extra special knowledge.

First up: Planetree Maple (also known as the Sycamore Maple), outside of the Beckman Center at Stanford.



Obviously a maple leaf, which is fitting due to the Stanley Cup playoffs happening (even though Toronto did not make it to the post-season).



From Wikipedia:
"The word Acer is derived from a Latin word meaning "sharp" (referring to the characteristic points on the leaves)."
