Quercus brandegeei is a rare Mexican species of plant in the family Fagaceae, in the oak genus Quercus, section Virentes.[2] It has been found only in the southern part of the State of Baja California Sur in northwestern Mexico.[3]
Quercus brandegeei is an evergreen tree up to 20 metres (66 feet) tall. Leaves are elliptical, not lobed, the blades up to 65 millimetres (2 1⁄2 inches) long and tapering at both ends, sometimes with no teeth on the edge but sometimes with a few pointed teeth.[4] Its habitat is restricted to stream-side locations.[5]
The species is listed as endangered by the IUCN Red List[1] and threatened by long-term climatic drying[6][7] and habitat loss.[1]
