Quercus ilex subsp. rotundifolia (Lam.) O.Schwarz ex Tab.Morais
Quercus rotundifolia, the holm oak or ballota oak,[4] is an evergreen oak native to the western Mediterranean region, with the majority on the Iberian Peninsula and minor populations in Northwest Africa. The species was first described by Jean-Baptiste Lamarck in 1785. It is the typical species of the Iberian dehesa or montado, where its sweet-astringent acorns are a source of food for livestock, particularly the Iberian pig. Its acorns have been used for human nourishment since the Neolithic era (7,000 BC).[5] It is placed in section Ilex.[6] Some authors described it as a subspecies of Quercus ilex.[7]
