ABSTRACT

The article presents information on the Quercus Macrocarpa or the Bur Oak and how it adapts to the tallgrass conditions in Nearctic Savanna. The Bur Oak is known to have a unique adaptability because they are enclosed by cupules or caps by more than 50% as developed from the floral involucre. Oaks are heterogenous and have introgressive populations with hybrid ancestry within the subgenous of oak called Lepidobalanus.
