Taxonomy & naming

[edit | edit source]

Quercus chrysocalyx was first described in 1921 by Paul Robert Hickel and Aimée Antoinette Camus.[1] The species epithet, chrysocalyx, is derived from the Greek chrysos ("gold") and kalyx, ("cup" or "calyx"), and describes the plant as having golden calyces.[7][8]
