TAXONOMY : 
The fully documented scientific name of boxelder is Acer negundo L.
Numerous varieties of this widely distributed species have been
designated [16,25,26,41]:

    Acer negundo var. negundo L.  
    Acer negundo var. interior (Britt.)Sarg.     
    Acer negundo var. violaceum (Kirchn.) Jaeg.   
    Acer negundo var. texanum Pax.                
    Acer negundo var. californicum Sarg.          
    Acer negundo var. arizonicum Sarg.            

These varieties appear to represent fairly distinct geographic races.

between var. violaceum and var. negundo [16].
