Quercus praeco is a Mexican species of trees in the beech family. It is native to the States of Jalisco and Nayarit in western Mexico and Nuevo León in northeastern Mexico.[1][2][3]
Quercus praeco is a deciduous tree up to 7 meters tall with a trunk as much as 50 cm in diameter. Leaves are up to 14 cm long, broadly egg-shaped, with shallow lobes or teeth along the edges. Upper side of the leaves is green, the underside yellowish because of many hairs.[1]
