About

Quercus sororia is a species of oak in the Fagaceae family. It is a tree endemic to Mexico. It grows at elevations between 1,000 and 2,300 metres (3,300 and 7,500 ft). Q. sororia was first described by Frederik Liebmann in 1854.

Valencia-A. and Coombes argue that the species has often been confused with Q. splendens and treated as a synonym. The IUCN Red List lists Q. splendens as a former name, while World Flora Online considers it a synonym along with Q. crassifolia.
