Quercus ithaburensis, the Mount Tabor oak, is a tree in the beech family Fagaceae. It is found from southeastern Italy to the Levant.[2] It is the national tree of Jordan.[4] Two subspecies are accepted, Quercus ithaburensis subsp. ithaburensis and Quercus ithaburensis subsp. macrolepis (syn. Quercus macrolepis, the Valonia oak).[2] Together with Quercus brantii, it forms a clade of distinct, closely related species within the oak section Cerris.[5]
