Southern Red Oak 



•» C. S. Sargent has pointed out (Ehodora, vol. 15. p. 30, 1915; vol. Is pp. 45-4S, 1916) that examination 

 of Linnaeus' t ype specimen of his Quercus rubra shows it to be the tree we have been calling Spanish Oak 

 [Quercus falcata Michaux and Quercus digitata (Marshall) Sudworth]. The latter oak must, therefore, be 

 called Quercus rubra Linnaeus. Notwithstanding the fact that this oak has long been known in the books 

 as Spanish Oak, foresters and other field observers have constantly heard settlers and woodsmen call this 

 tree "Red Oak," for which there now appears to be a good reason. It seems advisable, therefore, to dis- 

 rard the name "Spanish Oak," and to take up Southern Red Oak.
