The currently accepted scientific name for swamp chestnut oak is Quercus
michauxii Nutt. (Fagaceae) [9].  There are no recognized subspecies,

Q. prinus for chestnut oak, as it is also a synonym for swamp chestnut
oak [12].

Swamp chestnut oak hybridizes with white oak (Q. alba) to form Beadle
oak (Q. x beadlei Trelease ex Palmer) [12].  For more information on
swamp chestnut oak hybrids see Little [35].
