Classification Comments: The taxon properly called Quercus buckleyi has been called Quercus texana, Quercus shumardii var. texana, and Quercus shumardii var. microcarpa, but Nixon & Dorr (1985. Taxon 34: 225) concluded that these names were misapplied and named the species in honor of Samuel Botsford Buckley (1809-1884, State Geologist of Texas).
