''Quercus kerrii'' is an uncommon Asian species of tree in the family
Fagaceae. It is native to Thailand and Vietnam. There are also populations in southern China that according to some authors belong to ''Q. kerrii'' but considered by others to belong to a different species, ''
Q. helferiana.''
[Flora of China, ''Quercus kerrii'' Craib ]
/ref> ''Quercus kerrii'' is placed in subgenus ''Cerris'', section ''Cyclobalanopsis''.
''Quercus kerrii'' is a tree up to 20 m. tall with hairy twigs. Leaves can be as much as 240 mm long.[Craib, William Grant 1911. Bulletin of Miscellaneous Information Kew 1911(10): 471–472]
description in Latin, commentary in English The acorn is oblate, 7-12 × 20–28 mm, apex depressed to flat, with a scar that is 10–20 mm in diameter and slightly convex. In China, flowering is from March–May, acorns can be found from October–November.[
This species and '' Quercus helferiana'' are closely related: the relationship between them and their distribution needs further work and it is possible that ''Q. kerrii'' does not occur in China.][
