Oaks in Indonesia?

Abstract: 
Members of the beech family (Fagaceae), including chinquapins and oaks, are broadly characterized by long, usually drooping flower clusters called catkins, and by nuts which are completely or partially surrounded by a husk called a cupule. This guide is an introduction to the four Fagaceae genera that are indigenous to Indonesia and how they may be distinguished by the non-specialist.
