| Miscellaneous |
-- Species endemic to Lebanon; it was treated in different
ways according to Authors; first considered as a synonym of Q. lanuginosa
Willd. var. pinnatifida Gmelin, then as a probable hybrid between
Q. cerris and Q. pubescens (Govaerts & Frodin 1998),
and other treatments that are just as unsatisfactory, this species is
today placed by the Lebanese Authors (J. Stephan, P. Teeny 2017) as
a true species, closely related to Q.
pubescens but differing from it in the habitat in more humid
zones, the cups and above all the leaves; |
