Narrative
At the collection site in nature, there are a number of multi-stemmed bushes measuring 2-3 m in height, but a few specimens are clonally suckering with the largest clonal patch measuring approximately 6 m x 6m in area and only 1 m in height. One specimen noted was tree form measuring approximately 3 m in height. Extremely limited acorn production estimated at 1-10 acorns per genet. Genetics acquired as acorns (2022) from both rhizomatous and small, multi-stemmed bush types. Genetics acquired as root suckers (2023) were sampled only from rhizomatous specimens. Recent research (Hipp et al., 2019), noted that using the unweighted pair group method with arithmetic mean and non-metric multidimensional scaling ordination on genetic data 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". We suspect that multi-stemmed bushes or small trees likely represent genetics that are of hybrid origin between Q. muehlenbergii x Q. prinoides, including introgression by either parent. Those that are represented as clonally suckering specimens represent true to type Q. prinoides. This accession is being maintained as a small planting of distinct, rhizomatous clones that all share the same low growing (e.g. less than 2 meters tall), growth habit that spread via rhizomes.
