Quercus margarettae (spelling variants include Quercus margaretta, Quercus margarettiae, and Quercus margaretiae), the sand post oak or dwarf post oak, is a North American species of oak in the beech family. It is native to the southeastern and south-central United States from Virginia to Florida and west as far as Texas and Oklahoma.[3] There are historical reports of the species growing in New York State, but it has not been seen there in years.[4]
Quercus margarettae is a deciduous shrub or small tree growing up to 12 meters (40 feet) tall.[5] The bark is gray and scaly. The leaves are up to 135 millimetres (5+1⁄4 inches) long, and bipinnately lobed with rounded lobes. The plant grows in sandy or gravelly soil.[6][4]
