Name
Quercus rugosa is Latin for "wrinkled oak". In Spanish it has many common names, like "encino negro" (black oak) or "encino quiebra hacha" (axe-breaking oak). Colloquially it is known as "chaparro", a word which has also passed into the lexicon as slang for a short person.
Distribution
It is widespread in Mexico, Guatemala and the southwestern United States (Arizona, New Mexico, western Texas).[4][5][6][7][8] It grows extensively in the temperate highlands of central Mexico, particularly on hillsides and in narrow gorges, between 1,800 and 2,900 meters elevation.[9] It is associated and usually coexists with other oaks, alders, pines and Texas madrones.
