Northern Red Oak Leaf And Foot On Midtown Greenway

This northern red oak leaf is so wonderfully preserved, flattened on the Greenway blacktop surface. Oaks are in the Quercus genus; therefore the scientific name for this leaf is Quercus rubra (red).  Oak leaves with pointed lobes are in the red oak family and oak leaves with rounded lobes (like the bur oak) are in the white oak family.
