[edit] Q. devia and Q. tuberculata
Two mexican oaks; anyone know which section these species belong to? Tom Radulovich 04:33, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
- The latter is a variety of Q. coccinea (Scarlet oak), so it would be in section Lobatae. I am not sure about Q. devia. Schzmo 00:14, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Q. glauca?
Where to put Q. glauca, the 'ring-cup oak'? There is a drawing at Image:Quercus_glauca_Bra65.png which is from D. Brandis, Illustrations of the Forest Flora of North-West and Central India, 1874 -- Rwst 09:11, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Quercus dilatata
Quercus dilatata is listed both in the white oaks section and separately at the bottom as unknown subgenus. Is white oak correct?

[edit] Quercus costaricensis?
Anyone know where Quercus costaricensis fits in the list? 84.9.109.62 19:35, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Q. afares, Q. ithaburensis, Q. lusitanica
Anyone know where to place these? Quercus afares appears to be a stable hybrid of Q.suber from section Cerris and Q. canariensis from section Mesobalanus. Don't know where Quercus ithaburensis (Mt. Tabor Oak) and Quercus lusitanica (Portuguese Oak) belong. Tom Radulovich (talk) 06:52, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
I'd say that it's probably best to leave Q. afares out of the list until it's relationship is more fully understood, or perhaps list it under Cerris with notes about it's relationship to Q. canariensis since it's suggested that it's genetically more Q. suber than Q. canariensis. Q. afares is an odd one for sure and even if it is a stabilized hybrid of Q. suber and Q. canariensis, isn't that just another way of saying it's a young species for all intensive purposes? Especially since it seems to maintain it's ecological, morphological, and genetic distinction from both supposed parent species(as much as any other Quercus species) while growing in the same geographic area with them both.
Q. ithaburensis should be placed in the Cerris section and Q. lusitanica (Gall Oak or Lusitanian Oak, Quercus faginea is Portuguese Oak, I believe confusion between these 2 species has caused confusion with the English common names as well) should be listed under the Quercus section.
