Quercus × deamii (or Quercus deamii), known as Deam's oak, is a naturally occurring hybrid of chinquapin oak (Quercus muehlenbergii) and burr oak (Quercus macrocarpa). It occurs sporadically where their ranges overlap in the eastern United States and eastern Canada. It is named for self-taught botanist and state forester of Indiana Charles C.
