Abstract
Quercus nixoniana is described as a new species from the states of Jalisco, Guerrero, and Oaxaca at Sierra Madre del Sur, Mexico. It is included in Quercus sect. Lobatae Loudon (red oaks) because of the leaves with a terminal seta, the tomentose endocarp, and the base of the pistil- late perianth free, forming a skirt or flange. It re- sembles Q. salicifolia Nee and Q. crispifolia Tre- lease in the lanceolate blade, indument, and canescent acorns. A key for distinguishing the three taxa is included.
