[email protected] Draft © The Author(s) or their Institution(s) Botany Page 2 of 38 Summary The systematics of Quercus faginea Lam. (s.l) (Fagaceae) remains obscure, as it tends to crossbreed with other species and show signs of polymorphism. Four subspecies were identified and currently recognized in the Iberian Peninsula and Morocco. However, the literature to date does not allow the distinction between the taxa present in Algeria.
