Chinese cork oak (Quercus variabilis)

The leaves are single and taper to a point, ranging in size from 8 to 20 cm in length and 2 to 8 cm in width. They have a serrated edge, with each vein finishing in a tiny, hair-like point. The top side of the leaves is green, while the underside is silvery and covered with short, dense hairs. The fruit is a round acorn, 1.5 to 2 cm in diameter, mostly encased in a cup that is densely coated with soft, moss-like bristles measuring 4 to 8 mm in length.
