Acer pseudoplatanus, commonly known as sycamore in Europe and sycamore maple in North America (to distinguish it from Platanus occidentalis, which is also called sycamore), is one of the most common maples in Europe, native to central Europe from France east to Poland, and south in the mountains to northern Spain and Turkey. Sycamores now occur throughout Britain and Ireland, having been introduced in the 17th century.
