Quercus ithaburensis subsp. macrolepis, the Valonia oak,[2] is a subspecies of Quercus ithaburensis, a member of the beech family, Fagaceae.[1] It may also be treated as a separate species, Quercus macrolepis.[3]

Taxonomy

[edit]

The Valonia oak was first described as the species Quercus macrolepisbyCarl Friedrich Kotschy in 1860. It was reduced to a subspecies of Quercus ithaburensis in 1981.[1] Within the oak genus, Q. ithaburensis is classified in the subgenus Cerris, section Cerris, which includes Quercus cerris, the Turkey oak, and related species. It is most closely related to Quercus brantii, Brant's oak.[3]

Distribution

[edit]

Quercus ithaburensis subsp. macrolepis is native from south-east Italy, through the Balkans (Albania, Bulgaria, former Yugoslavia) and Greece, including Crete and the East Aegean Islands), to the eastern Mediterranean (Turkey, Lebanon and Syria. It is absent from the Palestine region,[1] where only the subspecies ithaburensis occurs.[4]

Uses

[edit]
Acorns

The cups, known as valonia, are used for tanning and dyeing as are the unripe acorns called camata or camatina. The ripe acorns are eaten raw or boiled.[5]
