A few other species of maple ("Acer") are also sometimes used as sources of sap for producing maple syrup, including the box elder or Manitoba maple ("Acer negundo"), the silver maple ("A. saccharinum"), and the bigleaf maple ("A. macrophyllum"). In the Southeastern United States, Florida sugar maple ("Acer floridanum") is occasionally used for maple syrup production.
