Quercus Grisea
''Quercus grisea'', commonly known as the gray oak, shin oak or scrub oak, is a North American species deciduous or evergreen shrub or medium-sized tree in the white oak group. It is native to the mountains of the southwestern United States and northern Mexico. It hybridises with four other oak species where the ranges overlap, the Arizona white oak (''Q. arizonica''), the Gambel oak (''Q. gambelii''), the Mohr oak (''Q. mohriana'') and the sandpaper oak (''Q. pungens''). Description ''Quercus grisea'' may grow as a multi-stemmed shrub in drier situations but where the rainfall is sufficient, it grows into a medium size tree of up to about with an irregular crown of twisted branches. The trunk is up to in diameter with light gray bark which is fissured and cracked into small plates. The twigs are stout and a light reddish-brown, covered with grayish down. The leaves are alternate, leathery, long ovate, entire or with a few coarse teeth. They are grayish ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Quercus Havardii
''Quercus havardii'' (common names include shinnery oak, shin oak and Havard oak) is a deciduous, low-growing, thicket-forming shrub that occupies some in the southern Great Plains of North America. Clones may reach hundreds to thousands of years old, although aboveground stems typically live only 11 to 15 years. Shinnery oak stems are usually tall and codominate the plant community with mid- and tall-grasses, which are usually taller than the oaks. The specific epithet honors U.S. Army surgeon and botanist Valery Havard, who contributed much to the knowledge of southwestern plants. The word "shinnery" seems to be derived from ''chêne'' (French for oak), and not from the height of the plant. Description Form: A low shrub to or occasionally a small tree, ''Q. havardii'' forms large clonal thickets by extending rhizomes through the sandy soil where it is usually found. Rhizomes range from in diameter and are concentrated in the upper of soil, although penetration depth ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
