Lithocarpus formosanus is a species of tree in the Fagaceae family. L. formosanus is a medium-sized tree with crooked trunk and many branches. It is endemic to Taiwan as it only occurs in the Hengchun Peninsula in the extreme south of the country.[2] It grows in mixed mesophytic forests at altitudes of 100–500 m (330–1,640 ft).[3] Only single population of fewer than 50 individuals survives.[1]
Lithocarpus formosanus is similar to L. dodonaeifolius, and their identity as separate species has been questioned.[1] Molecular methods suggest that they are closely related but distinct species.[4]
