Description[]
Quercus striatula is low shrub, which spreads by rhizomes. It can form a low, dense thicket up to .4 meters high.[1]
Distribution[]
It is native to the Sierra Madre Occidental of Chihuahua, Durango, Aguascalientes, and Zacatecas, and several mountain ranges on the Mexican Plateau to the east of the Siera, including mountains in Zacatecas, San Luis Potosí, and Guanajuato.[1]
Habitat and ecology[]
Quercus striatula is an understory plant in pine and pine–oak forests between 1,954 and 2,723 meters elevation. It grows in areas that have been cleared of understory vegetation by fires. It is generally found under the pines Pinus cooperi, P. teocote, P. leiophylla, and/or the oak Quercus sideroxyla. It is associated with Pinus cembroides and Mimosa aculeaticarpa var. biuncifera in drier areas of the mountains.[1]
