SCS PLANT CODE : 
   QUDU


COMMON NAMES : 
   Nuttall's scrub oak
   California scrub oak


TAXONOMY : 
The currently accepted scientific name of Nuttall's scrub oak is Quercus
dumosa Nutt.  Nuttall's scrub oak hyridizes with scrub oak (Q.
berberidifolia Liebm) [23].

The name Q. dumosa has been misapplied to Q. berberidifolia [23].  Older
literature usually does not distinguish between the two species, and it
is sometimes impossible to determine to which species older literature
is referring.  Consequently, this write-up includes only that
information on "Q. dumosa" reported from areas within the distribution
of Nuttall's scrub oak as described by Hickman [23].
