Anotations

Scope note:

Refers to the species Quercus prinus (also called Q. montana), used in making furniture. The term "chestnut oak" is also used informally as a general term referring to any of several species of oaks having leaves similar to chestnut trees.The name Quercus prinus was long used by many botanists and foresters for either the chestnut oak or the swamp chestnut oak, with the former otherwise called Q. montana or the latter otherwise called Q. michauxii. The application of the name Q. montana to the chestnut oak is now accepted, since Q. prinus is of uncertain position, unassignable to either species.
