Quercus magnoliifolia, also known as encino amarillo, encino avellano, encino bermejo, encino blanco, encino napis, encino prieto, and roble,[4] is a Mexican species of oak. It is widespread along the Pacific Coast of Mexico from Sinaloa to Chiapas, and also found inland as far as Zacatecas and Puebla.[4][2][5][6]

It was classified and described in 1801 by the French-Spanish botanist Luis Née.[7][8]

Quercus magnoliifolia is a deciduous tree up to 20 metres (66 feet) tall with a trunk as much as 60 centimetres (24 inches) in diameter. The leaves are thick and leathery, up to 22 cm (8 12 in) long, widely egg-shaped, with wavy edges or sometimes shallow teeth, green on the top but covered with yellowish hairs on the underside.[8]
