The sweetgums Liquidambar are a genus in the witch-hazel family Hamamelidaceae, with three species of large deciduous trees, 25-40m tall, with palmately lobed leaves:

• Liquidambar formosana - Chinese Sweetgum (central & southern China, Taiwan).
• Liquidambar orientalis - Oriental Sweetgum (Asia Minor).
• Liquidambar styraciflua - American Sweetgum (eastern North America from New York to Texas and also eastern Mexico to Guatemala).

They are popular ornamental trees, particularly in warm-temperate areas with hot summers, being some of the most reliable trees for good autumn (fall) colours in these conditions.
