Quercus magnoliifolia, also known as encino amarillo, encino avellano, encino bermejo, encino blanco, encino napis, encino prieto, and roble,[3] is a Mexican species of oak. It is widespread along the Pacific Coast of Mexico from Sinaloa to Chiapas, and also found inland as far as Zacatecas and Puebla.[3][4][5][6]
It was classified and described in 1801 by the French-Spanish botanist Luis Née.[7][8]
Quercus magnoliifolia is a deciduous tree up to 20 meters tall with a trunk as much as 60 cm in diameter. Leaves are thick and leathery, up to 22 cm long, widely egg-shaped, with wavy edges or sometimes shallow teeth, green on the top but covered with yellowish hairs on the underside.[8]
