 Quercus chrysolepis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Quercus chrysolepis, commonly termed Canyon live oak, is a species of evergreen oak that is found in the southwestern part of North America, notably in the California Coast Ranges.
Quercus chrysolepis is an evergreen tree with significant-sized spreading, horizontal branches, and a broad, rounded crown; it attains a height of six to thirty meters and is often found in a shrubby growth form.
In areas of moderate to high rainfall, it occurs on south facing slopes, and in the hotter, drier parts of its distribution, on northerly slope faces.

I have studied all of these in their natural habitats and have even found a few new species, three of which will be discussed in this article and which I refer to as: D.sp.’Congonhas’, D.sp.’Emas’, and D.sp.’stemless chrysolepis’.
Instead of opening a single flower at a time, starting from the base of the inflorescence, two or three flowers are sometimes found open on a single scape – the lower one having probably postponed blooming due to overcast weather on previous days.
I have noticed that flowers in cultivation will often be of a lighter shade than they were in the wild, just as the rich red rosettes will become bleached or all green – possibly due to reduced amounts of sunlight.

 Chrysolepis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
They are evergreen trees and shrubs with simple, entire (untoothed) leaves with a dense layer of golden scales on the underside (hence the genus name, from Greek chryso-, yellow, and lepis, scale) and a thinner layer on the upper side; the leaves persist for 3-4 years before falling.
It occurs in coastal areas of the Pacific Coast Ranges from Washington (near Seattle) south to San Luis Obispo, but also with a small disjunct population in the Sierra Nevada east of Sacramento.
The Bush Chinquapin Chrysolepis sempervirens is a shrub only 1-2 m tall.
