Trees or shrubs, evergreen. Bark grayish white to reddish brown, scaly to smooth with furrows. Leaf blade never lobed, margins entire or toothed, teeth if present usually spinose. Staminate flowers: calyx 5-6-lobed; anthers attenuate-apiculate. Pistillate flowers: calyx adnate to ovary, not forming flange; styles short and dilated to long and abruptly enlarged. Acorns: maturation biennial; cup pedunculate, cup scales distinct or laterally connate, base thickened and corky (tuberculate); nut with inner wall densely to sparsely tomentose, abortive ovules apical to lateral or basal, sometimes variable within individual plants, seed coats adhering to seed, sometimes to fruit wall at maturity. Cotyledons distinct.
Distribution
sw North America and nw Mexico.
Discussion
Quercus Linneaus subg. Protobalanus Trelease in P. C. Standley, Contr. U.S. Natl. Herb. 23: 176. 1922
Measurements for the cup of the acorn in the next two sections is for depth of cup, not height.
