Quercus fabri Hance

Quercus fabrei, or Faber's oak, is a species of deciduous oak tree found in southern China.[3][4]

Faber's oak can take on the form of either a large shrub or a tree, with the latter form reaching up to 20 metres in height.[3] The tree has elongated leaves, with the tip of the leaf being wider than the base.[5] The leaves are serrated, although the teeth are smaller than those of more well-known oak species such as Quercus robur.[6]
