|discussion=<p><i>Quercus arkansana</i> reportedly hybridizes with <i>Q. incana</i> (= Q. ×venulosa Ashe) and <i>Q. nigra</i> (D. M. Hunt 1986; W. H. Duncan and M. B. Duncan 1988). While agreeing that an isotype of the former clearly indicated a relationship to <i>Q. arkansana</i>, E. J. Palmer (1948) questioned the identity of the second parent and noted that venulosa is a homonym of a fossil species. In addition, D. M. Hunt (1989) cited evidence of hybridization with <i>Q. hemisphaerica</i>, <i>Q. laevis</i>, <i>Q. marilandica</i>, <i>Q. myrtifolia</i>, and either <i>Q. falcata</i> or <i>Q. velutina</i>.</p>
