Map 87.   Deciduous shrub or small tree to 6(-10) m with greyish, rather smooth barkand rounded crown; young shoots densely yellowish-brown tomentose. Buds ovoid, c. 4 mm, tomentose. Leaves distributed over shoots, ± regularly ovate-oblong, 6-10(-13) x 3-6 cm, cordate, ± regularly serrate with 8-14 pairs of acuminate scarcely aristate (1-2 mm) teeth; intercalary veins absent; upper surface dull green with numerous small dendroid-stellate hairs, lower pale yellowish-brown, densely stellate-tomentose; petiole 0.5-2 cm. Peduncle nearly absent, to 5 mm, sturdy. Fruit maturing in second year. Cupule hemispherical, c. 25-30(-35) mm diam., densely pubescent; scales broadly rhomboid, uppermost much elongated, often filiform, spreading-recurved; acorn ± included to c. 1/3 exserted, apically ± convex. Fr. 8-9. Forming pure communities, with other Quercus species (Q. infectoria subsp. boissieri, Q. libani, Q. cerris, Q. coccifera), with Pinus brutia, Styrax, Paliurus, often on limestone slopes, 350-1700 m.   Described from [Turkish] Kurdistan, Brant.   E. & S.E.

Close to Q. ithabur-ensis subsp. macrolepis but usually distinguishable by the ± regularly serrate leaves (Figure 18). Q. brantii varies greatly in the size of the cupule and the size and posture of the cupular scales; several varieties have been recognised based on this, apparently completely intergrading, variation. It hybridises, inter alia, with Q. libani, and some forms certainly appear to be what was described as Q. oophora Kotschy (Die Eichen t. 26, 1862), others as Q. vesca Kotschy (op. cit. t. 36). Additional synonyms of Q. brantii based on Iranian material are given by Menitsky in Fl. Iranica 77:13-15 (1971).
