Fagus taurica, the Crimean Beech, is a deciduous tree in the beech genus Fagus. The Balkan Beech Fagus moesiaca is considered to be the same species. It has been thought to be a hybrid between F. orientalis and F. sylvatica,^[2] but the relationships between Eurasian beeches are still unclear, and it may show greater affinity with F. orientalis.^[3]
