Narrative
At the collection site in nature, majority of speciems noted were suckering bushes measuring 3-5’ in height with the largest clonal patch measuring approximately 3’ x 4’ (area) and only 3’ in height. Minimal acorn production estimated at 10-15 acorns per genet. Recent research (Hipp et al., 2019), noted that using the unweighted pair group method with arithmeic mean and non-metric multidemensional scaling ordination did not separate individuals of Q. muehlenbergii and Q. prinoides as distinct species. However, W. M. Keith Jr. (1957) states that "Q. muehlenbergii never spreads vegetatively and acorns are rarely borne until it has attained small tree size whereas Q. prinoides bears at extremely small sizes, usually a foot or so high and spreads vegetatively via rhizomes". This collection represents genetics harvested from specimens with rhizomatous growth habits.
