Quercus barrancana is a species of oak. It is a shrub or small tree native to the state of Chihuahua in northern Mexico.[2] It typically grows as a shrub, and occasionally a small tree with one or several trunks, from one to five meters tall. It is native to dry, rocky slopes in steep-walled rocky canyons (barrancas) on the western slope of the Sierra Madre Occidental from 1,300 to 2,115 meters elevation.[1]
The species was first described by Richard William Spellenberg in 2014.[2]
