Liquidambar acalycina

Liquidambar acalycina, Chang's sweetgum, is a species of flowering plant in the family Altingiaceae native to southern China.

It is a medium-sized deciduous tree with three-lobed maple-like leaves that turn red in autumn before falling.

It requires cultivation in reliably moist, acid to neutral soil in full sun or partial shade.

The cultivar 'Burgundy Flush', with leaves opening purple, turning green, then burgundy red in autumn, has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.

[8] The leaves emerge with a burgundy color in spring, but as they grow and mature in summer, they become green, which indicates their increasing ability to photosynthesize.
