Range and habitat


Occurring in sheltered ravines on mountain slopes, it is found only in a few widely separated relict populations within cloud forests in Mexico and Guatemala, between 1480 and 2200 meters elevation. Populations are found in Chiapas, El Cielo Biosphere Reserve in Tamaulipas, and Sierra de las Minas in Guatemala.[3][4]

In 2017, populations growing in the Mexican state of Jalisco were split off as a new species, Acer binzayedii.[5]
