Quercus arkansana (also called Arkansas oak) is a species of plant in the beech family. It is native to the southeastern United States (eastern Texas, southern Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and the Florida Panhandle).[3]
Quercus arkansana is a deciduous tree up to 15 meters (50 feet) tall. Bark is black. Leaves are sometimes unlobed, sometimes with 2 or 3 shallow lobes.[4]
It is threatened by use of its habitat for pine plantations, clearing of land, and diebacks that may be caused by drought. It is also susceptible to introgression with commoner species[1]
