Quercus griffithii, called paisang, is a species of oak native to the eastern Himalaya, Tibet, south-central and southeast China, Assam, Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, and Vietnam.[2] It is in the subgenus Quercus, section Quercus. Some authorities feel that it could be a synonym of Quercus aliena var. acutiserrata. It is a deciduous tree reaching 25 m with an oblong crown, typically found from 700 to 2,800 m above sea level.[3] It is a locally important fuelwood and fodder species.[4]
