Maple or sycamore, for example (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

acer

This clue is a double definition.

'maple' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'sycamore for example' is the second definition.
(sycamore is a kind of Acer)

(Other definitions for acer that I've seen before include "Tree or shrub of the maple genus" , "Type of maple" , "Care about the maple?" , "Plant" , "Care about this tree" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
