After an examination of the characters that define the latter, and by critically comparing the types and the protologues of both taxa, we can see that the Seemann 1974 collection (on which the names Q. mexicana var. glabrata and Q. castanea var. glabrata were based) are not conspecific with Q. salicifolia, but with Q. confertifolia Bonpland (1809: 53) . Therefore, the proposal of Bartholomew &amp; Almeda (2023), that considers Q. mexicana var. glabrata and Q. castanea var. glabrata as synonyms of Q. confertifolia, is supported here.</p><p>Quercus salicifolia has been frequently confused with other species of Quercus section Lobatae (Loudon 1830: 385) from Central America and southern Mexico, since many of these have more or less lanceolate or narrowly elliptical to lanceolate blades, glabrous, and entire margins which led to treating them as synonyms of Q. salicifolia (Stevens et al. 2001; Linares 2003; Correa et al. 2004; Morales 2010; Bartholomew and Almeda 2023). However, there are other characteristics such as color and consistency of blades, the shape of the base and apex, the direction and number of secondary veins, as well as the shape and size of the acorn and cup, which allow us to distinguish each entity and consider them as different species. The names of the species that have been proposed as synonyms of Q. salicifolia and the characters that support the proposal presented here for each case are listed below.</p><p>Quercus boquetensis Standley, Publ. Field Mus. Nat. Hist., Bot. Ser. 22(1): 13. 1940.</p><p>Type:— PANAMA, Chiriquí, M. E. Davidson 780 (holotype F 935137!, isotypes US 00089445!, GH 00055560!).</p><p>This differs from Q. salicifolia by a combination of its linear-lanceolate leaves, acute to acute-acuminate at the base and apex, inconspicuous secondary veins, and dark-brown and glabrate twigs.</p><p>Flora Mesoamericana (Tropicos.org/Project) proposes Q. boquetensis as a synonym of Q. cortesii Liebmann (1854: 175), but this is incorrect given that the type specimens of Q. boquetensis (F 935137, US 00089445, and GH 00055560) show a greater number of characters in common with Q. seemannii, with which it could be conspecific. However, additional studies are required to clarify this identity.</p><p>Known distribution:— Panamá (Fig. 2F).</p><p>Quercus citrifolia Liebmann, Overs. Kongel. Danske Vidensk. Selsk. Forh.

Medlemmenrs Arbeider 186: 1854 (Fig. 2G).</p><p>Quercus citrifolia Liebmann and Q. borucasana Trelease are variations of the same taxon. Considering the principle of priority of the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi and plants (Turland et al. 2018), Q. citrifolia is the name that must be applied to this species and Q. borucasana is its synonym. Quercus citrifolia is distinguished from Q. salicifolia by its shorter, broadly elliptic to oblong, coriaceous leaves, leaf base truncated, obtuse to rounded, veins in smaller number, slightly impressed above, and diverging at an almost perpendicular course to the middle vein, leaf margin revolute, petioles slightly winged, buds ovoid, and its twigs dark brown with conspicuous lenticels. Burger (1977), Muller (1942), and Flora Mesoamericana (Tropicos.org/Project) list it as a synonym of Q. seemannii Liebmann, which can not be maintained here, because Q. seemannii has subcoriaceous and lanceolate leaf blades, and its petioles are longer. Additionally, Q. citrifolia is found on the ridge of mountains, while Q. seemannii grows in areas more protected from the sun and wind, even in cloud forest.</p><p>Known distribution:— Costa Rica, Guatemala and Panamá. It is possible that it could also be present in Honduras and Nicaragua.</p><p>Quercus eugeniifolia Liebmann, Overs. Kongel. Danske Vidensk. Selsk. Forh. Medlemmenrs Arbeider: 185. 1854.

While Q. eugeniifolia is similar to Q. salicifolia in having elliptical leaves with a cuneate to acute base and an acute to acuminate apex, it differs in the revolute margin, the secondary veins diverging almost at a right angle to the midvein and being impressed on the adaxial surface, and the twigs having conspicuous lenticels. Although Burger (1977) proposed it as a synonym of Q. seemannii, we consider that there is still a lack of information in this regard, so in the meantime, we maintain both as different species.</p><p>Known distribution:— Costa Rica.</p><p>Quercus mulleri Martínez, Anales Inst.

(Fig. 2J).</p><p>This species differs from Q. salicifolia in its narrowly lanceolate, long acuminate, and coriaceous leaves, which additionally have an olive-green colour, a slightly revolute margin, secondary veins diverging at an almost right angle from the midvein and they are concolorous, with a rounded base. So, we recognize this as a different taxon and its synonymy is not accepted here. Known distribution:—microendemic of Mexico, in Oaxaca and possibly Chiapas.</p><p>Quercus nixoniana S.

It was collected at 2000 m of elevation. With the exception of the bases that could be cuneate in Q. salicifolia, the rest of the characteristics indicated above do not coincide with the characteristics of Q. salicifolia, since it has reddish to brown twigs, and inconspicuous lenticels. Additionally, the elevation and location of collection of Q. obtusanthera are different from those of Q. salicifolia, which does not exceed 1300 m asl, and is found mainly on the Pacific slope of the Sierra Madre del Sur, so this synonymy is not accepted here for Q. salicifolia .</p><p>Known distribution:—data deficient, only known from the protologue.</p><p>Quercus rubramenta Trel., Repert.

Ramírez Santos 71 (holotype FCME-182699!, isotype FCME-11370!) (Fig. 4).</p><p>Diagnosis:— Quercus salasiae is similar to Q. salicifolia and Q. nixoniana . From Q. salicifolia it is mainly distinguished by its shorter petioles (1.7‒3.5(‒7) vs. 2.8‒7.7(‒9.6), shorter length/width ratio (2.6‒3.2(‒3.8) vs. 3.7‒4.9), and the adaxial blade surface somewhat shining vs. dull. From Q. nixoniana it can be distinguished by its oblanceolate, obovate, elliptic to pandurate leaves vs. narrowly elliptic to lanceolate, as well as the number of secondary veins on each side of the midvein (13‒16(18) vs. 15‒23), and its way of these respect to midvein (moderately curved and ascending vs. almost straight and almost perpendicular).</p><p>Description:—Trees 15‒25(30) m tall; stems ca. 0.4 m diam., twigs 1‒3 mm diam., slightly furrowed, greyish to reddish brown, lenticels inconspicuous, glabrous; buds ovoid, 5-6 mm long, scales glossy, broadly ovate to very broadly ovate, margin moderately ciliate; stipules deciduous. Mature leaves with petioles 1.7‒3.5(‒7) × 2‒3.1 mm, glabrous, thick at the base, often depressed between the leaf base, reddish-brown basally; blades evergreen, coriaceous, oblanceolate, obovate or elliptical to pandurate 10.5‒17(‒28) × 2.8-5(‒9) cm, 2.6‒3.2(‒3.8) times longer than wider; apex acute-acuminate, tip aristate; margin entire, cartilaginous, somewhat crisped and slightly revolute; base cuneate, narrowly rounded or narrowly subcordate; secondary veins 13‒16(‒18) on each side of the midvein, moderately curved, ascending, regularly distributed (more or less regularly equidistant from each other), branching and anastomosing near the margin, with evanescent intermediates, adaxial blade surface somewhat glossy, slightly reddish-green to glaucous, midvein smooth or raised, secondary veins and veinlets concolorous or somewhat yellowish; abaxial blade surface somewhat dull, glabrous or with tufts of fasciculate shortly stipitate to sessile trichomes in the axils of the secondary veins, secondary veins slightly raised, epidermis smooth. Pistillate flowers 1‒2 at the apex of a glabrous peduncle 0.4‒1.4 cm long, stigmas 3, tomentose on the outside and rolled, forming a spiral. Fruits annual, 1‒2 at the end of a peduncle ca. 1 cm long or rarely sessile on the twigs, cupules hemispheric, rarely incipiently turbinate, 7‒10 mm tall × 10‒14.5 mm diam., margin erect, scales triangular, canescent and smooth; acorns ovoid to subspheric, 15‒30 mm tall × 10‒26 mm diam., brown, covered with a fine canescent indumentum at the apex, including 1/4‒1/3 of their total length in the cupule.</p><p>Distribution and ecology:— Mexico (Chiapas, Guerrero, and Oaxaca) (Fig. 5), possibly in Guatemala. Elevation (540‒) 700‒1820 m. It occurs in pine-oak forest, oak forest and riparian forest. Associated with Quercus glaucescens Bonpland (1809: 29), Pinus maximinoi, H.E. Moore (1966: 8), some species of Magnolia Linnaeus (1753: 535), and species of the family Malvaceae Jussieu (1789: 271) .</p><p>Phenology:—Flowering time is January, and fruits mature from May to September.</p><p>Conservation status:—According to the IUCN (2024) categories and criteria and the calculated value of the extent of occurrence (EOO = 91,804.781 km 2), Quercus salasiae may be considered as Least Concern (LC). However, based on the area of occupancy (AOO = 172 km 2), it may be assessed as Endangered (EN) because its area of occupancy is less than 5000 km 2. Taking into account this information, in addition to the locations of the collections that allow us to infer that the species is widely distributed throughout the Sierra Madre del Sur and the Sierra Madre de Chiapas, Mexico, and that it occurs in different environments, we propose the preliminary category of LC for Q. salasiae .</p><p>Etymology:—The specific epithet honors Dra. Silvia Hortencia Salas, who has dedicated a large part of her studies to botanical exploration in the state of Oaxaca, and who collected part of the botanical material of this species.</p><p>Common name:—Encino de castaña, Toki, encino blanco.</p><p>Additional specimens examined:— MÉXICO, CHIAPAS.
