Quercus oocarpa is a Mesoamerican species of oak.
It is native to Central America and southern Mexico, with an isolated population in the canyons of Jalisco in western Mexico.
Description.
"Quercus oocarpa" is a large forest tree frequently more than tall, evergreen or deciduous, with a trunk as much as in diameter. The leaves are sometimes as much as long, broadly egg-shaped with numerous small pointed teeth along the edges.
Range and habitat.
"Quercus oocarpa" ranges from southwestern Mexico (Nayarit, Jalisco, and Guerrero states, and possibly Chiapas), through Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica to Panama. Some specimens of "Quercus insignis" from Chiapas have been confused with this species.
It inhabits humid montane forests, including cloud forests and pine–oak–"Liquidambar" forests, between 1400 and 2000 meters elevation.
