Chestnut Oak (Quercus prinus), so named due to the resemblance of its leaves to the American Chestnut, is also called Rock Oak, Rock Chestnut Oak, or Mountain Oak, as it is often found in dry, rocky soils at the tops of hilly ridges. Chestnut Oak is also listed by some authorities with the scientific name of Quercus montana.
