Quercus breviloba
Also called Scrub Oak, Shin Oak, White Shin Oak, Bastard Oak
Quercus sinuata var. breviloba, commonly called Bigelow oak or Bigelow's oak, is a variety of Quercus sinuata, a species of oak tree that grows in parts of the southern United States and northeastern Mexico. Common names for this taxon are shallow-lobed oak, white shin oak, scaly-bark oak, limestone Durand oak, and shortlobe oak. The less specific common name bastard oak may refer to either of the two varieties of Quercus sinuata, var. sinuata and var. breviloba. Other common names include scrub oak or shin oak, but these names may refer to a number of other low growing, clump forming oak species, subspecies or varieties. For clear differentiation in common reference, American Forests uses Durand Oak to mean Quercus sinuata var. sinuata and Bigelow oak to mean Quercus sinuata var.
The principal distribution of Quercus sinuata var. breviloba is in central Texas and the northern Mexico states of Coahuila, Nuevo León, and Tamaulipas. Disjunct populations occur in the Arbuckle Mountains of south central Oklahoma and, approximately 240 kilometres (150 miles) to the northwest, on a low hill in Custer County just north of Foss, Oklahoma.
