Plants that produce acorns all belong to the genus Quercus, known commonly as oaks. There are about 600 species of oaks. Some oaks are trees and some are shrubs. They are extremely diverse and live on every continent except Australia. Every species has it's own scientific name, but they all share the same genus name, Quercus. Some examples are Quercus bicolor, swamp white oak, Quercus ilicifolia, scub oak, and Quercus robur, English oak.
The botanical name is Quercus followed by the species name.
