--><span class="statement" id="st-undefined" data-properties=""><b>Shrubs,</b> deciduous, low, forming clones 0.3-1.5 × 10 m, rhizomatous. <b>Bark</b> light gray, scaly-papery. <b>Twigs</b> brown or grayish, 1-2.5 mm diam., glabrous or densely short grayish or yellowish tomentulose, glabrate in age. <b>Buds</b> dark red-brown, subglobose, ca. 2 mm, sparsely pubescent. <b>Leaves</b>: petiole to 7 mm. <b>Leaf</b> blade green, often turning brownish with age, polymorphic, oblong or elliptic or sometimes lanceolate to oblanceolate or ovate to obovate, (30-)50-100 × (10-)20-50 mm, rather thick and hard, base rounded to cuneate, margins flat to revolute, at least some undulate, 2-3 rounded teeth on each side, secondary veins 5-8 on each side, much branched, apex broadly rounded, rarely acute; surfaces abaxially densely grayish or yellowish tomentulose or stellate-pubescent, sometimes only sparsely pubescent, secondary veins quite prominent, adaxially lustrous, very sparsely stellate-pubescent or glabrate, secondary veins very slightly if at all raised. <b>Acorns</b> solitary or paired, subsessile or on peduncle to 10(-18) mm; cup from deeply cup-shaped to goblet-shaped, 10-12 mm deep × 15-25 mm wide, enclosing 1/3-1/2 nut, base rounded or slightly constricted, margin very thin and smooth, scales reddish brown, triangular-ovate to long-acute, proximally moderately to markedly tuberculate, pubescent, often canescent, tips loosely appressed; nut brown, ovoid, 12-25 × 14-18 mm. <b>Cotyledons</b> distinct.</span><!--

|discussion=<p>Individual clones emerging to heights of 2-3 m from thickets occur sporadically across the Texas range of <i>Quercus havardii</i> and express some characteristics of <i>Q. stellata</i>, such as more deeply lobed leaves and smaller acorns. Such putative hybrids increase in frequency in the eastern part of the range of the species.</p><!--
--><p>Material of <i>Quercus havardii</i> from the Navajo Basin of Utah and adjacent Arizona has been treated as <i>Q. havardii</i> var. tuckeri Welsh. Welsh followed J. M. Tucker (1970) and interpreted these intermediate populations as putative hybrids between <i>Q. havardii</i> and both <i>Q. turbinella</i> and <i>Q. gambelii</i>. Giving varietal rank, instead of nothospecies status, to such populations seems arbitrary, and it certainly is inconsistent with their putative hybrid origins.</p>
