Quercus pumila (runner oak[3] or running oak[4]) is a North American species of oaks in the beech family. It is native to the southeastern United States (Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, and the Carolinas).[3][5]

Quercus pumila is a deciduous shrub usually less than one meter (40 inches) tall. Bark is gray or dark brown. Leaves are up to 10 cm (4 inches) long, with no teeth or lobes, hairless or nearly so on the upper surface, the underside usually with a thick coat of reddish-brown hairs.[3]
