Taxonomic notes
Quercus is formed from two Celtic words: quer (beautiful) cuez (tree). Chapmanii is named after A.W. Chapman (1809-1899) a physician and botanist[1].
Description
A description of Quercus chapmanii is provided in The Flora of North America.
Distribution
Q. chapmanii is found in xeric scrubs and scrubby flatwoods in Florida, coastal Alabama, Georgia, and the southern portion of South Carolina[1].
Ecology
Habitat
In the Coastal Plain in Florida, Q. chapmanii has occurred in a scrub thicket between dunes and a sound; sand pine scrubs; island sand ridges; sand barrens; high pine scrubs; ravines along creeks; scrub oak-wiregrass sand ridges; evergreen oak scrubs; live oak hammocks; sand pine/mixed oak scrub; coastal scrubs; dune scrubs; pine flatwoods; pine-scrub oak-palmetto communities; and oak-hickory-magnolia coastal hammocks. It has been observed in disturbed habitats such as along roadsides, a sandhill scrub next to powerlines, and a stand of cleared longleaf pine that is now a thick stand of mixed oaks. Soil types include white sand, loamy sand and sandy loam. Associated species include Quercus myrtifolia, Q. incana, Q. laevis, Q. geminata, Q. hemisphaerica, Q. laurifolia, Q. nigra, Q. minima, Ilex glabra, Serenoa repens, Sabal minor, Pinus clausa, Carya, and Vitis rotundifolia[2].
Phenology
Q. chapmanii has been recorded flowering March through July and fruiting March through December (FSU Herbarium).
