It commonly forms extensive cloned colonies with many stems, many of them unbranched. The leaves are alternate, up to Page Template:Fraction/styles.css has no content.12 centimetres (4+1⁄2 inches) long, and toothless or with irregular teeth or lobes. The lobes, when present, are usually spine-tipped. The leaves are retained through the winter, dropping just before or as new growth resumes in late winter or early spring.[6]
Distribution and habitat
Quercus minima is native to the coastal plain of the southeastern United States, primarily in Florida but extending from there to the Carolinas and eastern Louisiana.[7] There are reports of the species also growing in Texas, but these populations appear to belong to other taxa.[6][8]
Q. minima has been observed growing in environments such as open rocky areas, pine flatwoods, slash pine flatwoods, and along wetland shores.[9]
Conservation
The IUCN conservation status is Least Concern (LC).[3] The NatureServe conservation status is G5 Secure.[4]
