1867 Excerpt: ... known as that of the lied OaKs, in which there is
such a confusion of popular names that they will be of little
service in designating the species. There is no uniformity in their
application in different parts of the State, and within the same
neighborhood the same name may be given to different species, or
different names to the same species. This is not very surprising,
since there is so much resemblance among them, and as there is
apparently a tendency to crosses among the members of this
Division. It is indeed sometimes rather difficult to determine
whether a particular tree belongs to one or other of two or three
pretty well marked species. I shall therefore be obliged to
describe the following more minutely than I have the preceding,
though I shall oi.ly notice the most common or typical forms. The
names given below are those by which the species are most commonly
known in different parts of the United States. 14. Spanish Oak. (Q.
falcata, Michx.)--This is generally known in this State, I think,
by the name of Red Oak, though sometimes called as above. It is
also, in some parts, denominated Turkey Oak, from a vague
resemblance between the form of the leaf (when it has but three
divisions, ) and the track of a Turkey. It is to be distinguished,
even at some distance, from other species of this section by the
grayish down on the underside of the leaves and on the young shoots
upon which they grow, giving the tree a very different hue from
that of the others. The leaves, too, have narrower divisions (3 to
7 in number, ) than the others, generally entire, and slightly
curved backwards. The manner in which the clusters of leaves hang
down from the ends of the branchlets gives them a plume-like aspect
very unlike those of the other species. The Spanish Oak .
