= dumosa var. acutidens (Torr.) Wenzig 1885
= macdonaldii var. elegantula Greene
= dumosa var. elegantula (Greene) Jepson
Small shrub less than 6-10 m tall, evergreen, that resembles Q. berberidifolia, but leaves variable, thicker and more leathery, more tomentose beneath (2-6 cm, oboval, margin wavy more than toothed, light dull green and glabrous above, hairy beneath but becoming glabrous when older, with petiole 3- 7 mm) ; acorn 2-2.5 cm, enclosed in warty cup, maturing in 1 year; cotyledons sometimes connate;
American mainland, in front of California Channel Islands (San Luis Rey, San Diego County), at less than 1600m above sea level;

both twigs and 2-3 mm long buds tomentose; leaves 4-8 x 2,5-4 cm, subleathery, tomentose beneath, base asymmetrical or truncate, apex obtuse, margin wavy, sinuate-dentate, with pointed, irregular teeth; midrib prominent beneath; 5-7 vein pairs; petiole tomentose 0.5-1 cm; fruit on very short pecuncle; cup with appressed pubescent scales; acorn with attenuate apex, stylopodium hairy, basal scare small, stigmas divergent;
SE France; NE Spain;
x alienoides Uyeki 1932 acutissima x aliena

x alvordiana
Eastwood 1905
douglasii x turbinella or douglasii x john-tuckeri
= dumosa var. alvordiana (Eastw.)
Jepson 1910
no more than 3 m; semipersistent ; leaves 1.5-5 cm, apex rounded, base cuneate, margin weakly lobed and coarsely toothed, glaucous above, minutely tomentose beneath; acorn 2-4 cm, enclosed for 1/4 in cup with warty scales; maturing in 1 year;
California, at 400-1300 m ;
x andegavensis Hy 1895 pyrenaica x robur
= x henriquezii Franco & Vasc. 1954
= x rechinii Hy 1896
usually, Q. pyrenaica is dominant ; twigs are pubescent; buds 4-8 mm, tomentose; leaves tomentose beneath, at least along veins, with petiole tomentose; acorn with peduncle 1-3 cm, tomentose;
France, Spain;
Actually one must distinguish Q. x rechinii, in which Q. robur is dominant ; twigs glabrous; bud glabrescent, 3-5 mm; leaves glabrous on both faces, petiole glabrous; acorn with hairless, 2-4.5 cm peduncle;
x andresii
R. Alonso & al. 1999
faginea X pauciradiata
 
NW Spain
x andrewsii Sarg. 1918 macrocarpa x undulata
less than 3m tall;
Oklahoma ;
x anselmii Sennen 1928 canariensis X pubescens
= desmotricha O.Schwarz 1936
leaves semi-evergreen, 9-11 cm long, lobed, with 7-8 vein pairs, white tomentose beneath when young, pubescent above with stellate hairs; petiole 2 cm long;
Spain.
-- For Govaerts & Frodin, it is a synonym of Q. cerrioides, but these Authors are in disagreement with A. Camus and O. Schwarz (among others) who feel that Q. cerrioides is a hybrid between Q. faginea and Q. pubescens.
-- For today's Spanish specialists in hybrid oaks in Spain (Alexis Rosell), Q. x anselmii is more exactly the hybrid between Q. cerrioides and Q. canariensis var. ovata; therefore it differs from the closely related Q. desmotricha (= canariensis var. carpinifolia x pubescens).
