A Native of Indiana

Deam Oak, Quercus Deamii, Indiana, native hybrid

 

This plant specimen in the JSTOR Global Plants database of the Deam Oak, Quercus Deamii, is a native hybrid oak tree of Indiana. Deam bought the land that the first discovered oak inhabited and presented it to the state of Indiana in order to preserve and protect the tree—the Deam Oak Monument still exists today. The New York Botanical Garden Library offers JSTOR Global Plants to its users--the world’s largest database of digitized plant specimens and a locus for international scientific research and collaboration.
