Validity

There is some debate among Mexican authors regarding the validity of Quercus acutangula as described by Trelease. According to a work published by Susana Valencia-A. in 2004, this species should not be currently recognized as valid. It is suggested that it could potentially be a hybrid or a morphological variety.[2]
