{{Inc| Quercus falcata, Michx. (Q. digitata, Sudw. Q. cuneata, Auth., not Wang.). Spanish Oak. Tree, to 70, rarely to 100 ft., with stout spreading branches forming an open, round-topped head: lvs. deeply pinnatifid, with 5-7 entire, acute and often falcate lobes gradually narrowed from a broad base and spreading at nearly right angles, separated by broad sinuses, drooping, dark green and glabrous above, tawny or grayish pubescent beneath, 3-8 in. long: fr. short-stalked; acorn subglo- bose, 1/2in. high, embraced one-half by the turbinate cup. N. J. to Fla., west to Mo. and Texas. S.S. 8:420. G.F. 8:104. F.E. 29:943.—Handsome, with peculiarly distinct foliage, but not quite hardy N. It appears that the original description of Q. rubra, Linn., applies to the Spanish oak (see Sargent in Rhodora 17:39); therefore, under a strict application of the rule of priority, Q. falcata, Michx., ought to be called Q. rubra and the tree heretofore known as Q. rubra ought to be known as Q. borealis, if var. ambigua is not considered specifically distinct; otherwise it ought to receive a new name. The name Q. borealis applies more strictly to the northern form (Q. rubra var. ambigua), while the more southern form becomes Q. borealis var. maxima, Sarg. }} Describe the plant here... ==Cultivation==  ===Propagation===  ===Pests and diseases===  ==Species==  ==Gallery== {{photo-sources}} <gallery> Image:Upload.png| photo 1 Image:Upload.png| photo 2 Image:Upload.png| photo 3 </gallery> ==References== *[[Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture]], by L.
