Acer caesium, the Himalayan maple,[3] is an Asian species of maple found in India, Pakistan, Nepal, and China (Gansu, Henan, Hubei, Ningxia, Shaanxi, Sichuan, Tibet, Yunnan).[4]

Acer caesium is a tree up to 25 m (82.0 ft) tall, with gray bark. Leaves are non-compound, with 5 shallow lobes, the blade up to 10 cm (3.9 in) long, with teeth along the edges.[4][5]

Acer caesium subspecies giraldii grows to approximately 10 m (32.8 ft) tall, and is found in north-western China. The flowers are a bluish white and born on young shoots in the spring.[6] The subspecies epithet is a patronym honoring Italian missionary Giraldi.[6]
