THE GENUS QUERCUS (oak species) NAMES WORLDWIDE
This list is extracted from a wood-name list of some 26,000 species and 140,000 common names that I have accumulated over the years.
Some notes/caveats about the species listed here and the common names associated with them.
I have removed hundreds of common names which were all, as far as I could tell, names which are only used in countries other than the USA.
Australian woods with the name "oak" are NOT included.
I do NOT believe that this list is comprehensive, even given the caveats above.
Apologies for the inappropriate lack of capitalization on the Genus name throughout and on the proper names such as "california".
