Summary Various repeated observations carried out in different areas of the Mediterranean basin have shown that Quercus coccifera L. s.l. has three other reproductive cycles in addition to the normal biennial acorn maturation. It is therefore suggested that the strict description of “biennial” be corrected in all future analytical keys and descriptions.
