Acer is a genus of trees or shrubs commonly known as maple.
 The genus is placed in the Sapindaceae family.
 There are approximately 128 species, most of which are native to Asia, with a number also appearing in Europe, northern Africa, and North America.
 Only one species, "Acer laurinum", extends to the Southern Hemisphere.
 The type species of the genus is the sycamore maple, "Acer pseudoplatanus", the most common maple species in Europe.
Aceraceae were recognized as a family of flowering plants also called the maple family.
 They contain two to four genera, depending upon the circumscription, of some 120 species of trees and shrubs.
 A common characteristic is that the leaves are opposite, and the fruit a schizocarp.
In biology, gonochorism ("Greek" offspring + disperse) or unisexualism or gonochory describes the state of having just one of at least two distinct sexes in any one individual organism.
 The term is most often used with animals, in which the individual organisms are often gonochorous.
 Gonochory is less common in plants.
 For example, in flowering plants, individual flowers may be hermaphrodite (i.e. with both stamens and ovaries) or gonochorous (unisexual), having either no stamens (i.e. no male parts) or no ovaries (i.e. no female parts).
 Among flowering plant species that have unisexual flowers, some also produce hermaphrodite flowers, and the three types occur in different arrangements on separate plants; the plants can be monoecious, dioecious, polygamomonoecious, polygamodioecious, andromonoecious, or gynomonoecious.
Abutilon is a large genus of flowering plants in the mallow family, Malvaceae.
 It is distributed throughout the tropics and subtropics of the Americas, Africa, Asia, and Australia.
 General common names include Indian mallow and velvetleaf; in Russian, ornamental varieties are commonly known as the room maple.
The Sapindaceae are a family of flowering plants in the order Sapindales known as the soapberry family.
 It contains 138 genera and 1858 accepted species, including maple, ackee, horse chestnut and lychee.
Barnadesia is a genus of flowering plants in the aster family, Asteraceae.
 It is native to South America, where it is distributed from Colombia to northern Argentina, with most species occurring in the Andes.
 Common names include clavelillo, chivo caspi, espino de gato, and espino santo.
Rose maple is a common name for several flowering plants in the Lauraceae family, in a different family and order from true maples, and may refer to:
Abutilon" × "hybridum is a species name used for a wide variety of different types flowering plants of uncertain origin in the genus "Abutilon".
 Because of the uncertainty surrounding the name, they are often considered a cultivar group: Abutilon x Hybridum Group or Abutilon Hybridum Group.
 They are cultigens, not occurring in the wild.
 As with the larger "Abutilon" genus generally, they have been referred to by the common names Chinese lantern, and parlour maple.
Self-pollination is when pollen from the same plant arrives at the stigma of a flower (in flowering plants) or at the ovule (in Gymnosperms).
 There are two types of self-pollination: In autogamy, pollen is transferred to the stigma of the same flower.
 In geitonogamy, pollen is transferred from the anther of one flower to the stigma of another flower on the same flowering plant, or from microsporangium to ovule within a single (monoecious) Gymnosperm.
 Some plants have mechanisms that ensure autogamy, such as flowers that do not open (cleistogamy), or stamens that move to come into contact with the stigma.
 The term selfing that is often used as a synonym, is not limited to self-pollination, but also applies to other types of self fertilization.
The Middletown Nature Gardens is located off Randolph Road in Middletown, Connecticut.
 In 1995, the city of Middletown, CT purchased the 18 acre of land and dedicated it open space.
 This piece of land serves as a natural habitat to many plants and animals.
 There are many trails to walk about surrounded by an array of diverse trees and shrubs.
 Some of the types of trees and shrubs include red cedar, flowering dogwood, highbush blueberries, white pine, and speckled alder.
 The main trail is a 0.5 mi loop.
 Mulched side trails, which branch off the main trail, add another 0.5 mi to walk.
 Community volunteers maintain the park.
 They have erected many bluebird boxes and bat houses to house some of the natural wildlife of the park.
 There are also vernal pools, which are habitats for salamanders and wood frogs in the southeast corner of the park.
 There is even a 200-year-old sugar maple, which is called the “bee tree,” in which a large colony of bees has made it their home.
