Overcup Oak found along Chocolate Bayou south of Manvel TX. This specimen is extremely large, and ID was confirmed by finding the species' unusual acorn on the ground underneath the tree. Several other smaller specimens are found in the nearby woods. Please note adult standing at base of tree in the two left-most photos, to gain appreciation of its size.

Tree with alternate leaf arrangement. Leaves had 7 lobes, yellow petioles and midveins, and were glossy on both the upper and lower sides. Sinuses were deep and C-shaped. Buds were tan, rounded cones with the slightest pubescence on the tips; these were situated on reddish brown stems.
