--><p><i>Quercus boyntonii</i> is a rare and poorly known species of somewhat uncertain distribution; probably it is often overlooked. Some intermediates between <i>Q. boyntonii</i> and Q. margaretta are known. These tend to be larger shrubs, to 2 m with felty hairs proximally but with the rhizomatous habit of <i>Q. boyntonii</i>.</p>
