description_en: Genus of 4 species of deciduous, monoecious trees occurring in moist woodland in E. and S.W. Asia, North America, and Mexico. They are cultivated particularly for their attractive foliage, which colours well in autumn, and for their upright but open habit. The maple-like leaves are alternate and palmately 3- to 7-lobed. Inconspicuous, yellow-green flowers are produced in rounded heads in late spring; the female flowers are followed by spiky, spherical fruit clusters. Liquidambars are excellent as part of a woodland planting, or as specimen trees isolated in grass.
