Voted 10/10 | Robur- you can verify this if it has a slight recurve where the base of the leaf meets the stem. | | Posted Nov 23, 2006 1:58 am |

Hasn't voted | Well, I think it's not a Quercus robur leaf, it is Quercus pyrenaica. I've noticed it after consulting some books on trees and the site below.

Voted 10/10 | The botanical reference with its good map. This tree is much more wide spread in Spain than its name would suggest. | | Posted Nov 23, 2006 2:57 am |

Hasn't voted | Yep desainme, though I've found it (google) as melojo oak. That's because we name it melojo. It's also known as rebollo or roble negral.
