Acer palmatum, commonly known as Japanese maple, palmate maple... The fruit is a pair of winged samaras, each samara 2–3 cm...

A samara is a winged achene, a type of fruit in which a flattened wing of fibrous, papery tissue develops from the ovary wall. A samara is a simple dry fruit, and is indehiscent. The shape of a samara enables the wind to carry the seed further away from the tree than regular seeds would go, and is thus a form of anemochory.
