| Quercus sororia Liebm. (1854) | |
Quercus sororia is a species of oak in the Fagaceae family. It is a tree endemic to Mexico.[2] It grows at elevations between 1,000 and 2,300 metres (3,300 and 7,500 ft).[1] Q. sororia was first described by Frederik Liebmann in 1854.[3]
Valencia-A. and Coombes argue that the species has often been confused with Q. splendens and treated as a synonym.[2] The IUCN Red List lists Q. splendens as a former name,[1] while World Flora Online considers it a synonym along with Q. crassifolia.[4]
