Talk:Fagaceae
It is of interest to the following WikiProjects:
Somebody has written to Talk:Cyclobalanopsis:
"It is ONLY the Flora of China that treats Cyclobalanopsis as a genus. Almost all botanists incl. the ones responsible for the genus Quercus consider it a subgenus. In my opinion Wikipedia should follow the currently most common opinion and add Cyclobalanopsis as a subgenus of Quercus."
I agree on this. For example, Angiosperm Phylogeny Website (http://www.mobot.org/mobot/research/APweb/welcome.html) and any of the taxonomy databases (like http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Taxonomy/taxonomyhome.html/ and http://www.ars-grin.gov/cgi-bin/npgs/html/tax_search.pl) do not support the genus Cyclobalanopsis. And my understanding is that Cyclobalanopsis is treated as subgenus also in Japan. Krasanen (talk) 17:50, 9 April 2008 (UTC) Reply

The Fagaceae are mostly deciduous, but several species of the oaks, known as Live oaks are evergreen. The holm oak Quercus ilex illustrated in the species box is one of the evergreen species. In fact the article does not illustrate any deciduous species. Plantsurfer 18:12, 21 December 2020 (UTC) Reply
