Quercus pubescens  on its only stand in Poland, in the Bielinek Reserve, was for years treated as atypical, being an effect of hybridizing with co-occurring  Q. petraea  and  Q. robur . In the study, the leaves of these three species and their hybrids in Bielinek were characterized with 20 macro-morphological and eight micro-morphological traits, and statistically compared with  Q. pubescens  from Italy. Genetic assignments revealed a low number of hybrids.  Quercus pubescens  leaves from Bielinek and Italy were visually similar, the significant differences between them concerned mainly the size of the leaves. It was accepted that the characteristics of  Q. pubescens  from Bielinek were within the range of species variability and were similar to the doubtful species  Q. virgiliana  ( Q. pubescens  s.l.). Differences between  Q. pubescens  from Bielinek and Italy could have resulted from the acclimatization to the local conditions, or origination form a different refugium, and long-term isolation. The group of  Q. petraea  leaves joining morphological features of  Q. petraea  and  Q. pubescens  was detected, blurring the morphological differences between species and impeding the recognition of hybrids. This phenomenon is explained by the acclimatization of part of the population to the local micro-climate or by the ancient hybridization.
