   Oak \Oak\ ([omac]k), n. [OE. oke, ok, ak, AS. [be]c; akin to D.
      eik, G. eiche, OHG. eih, Icel. eik, Sw. ek, Dan. eeg.]
      1. (Bot.) Any tree or shrub of the genus {Quercus}. The oaks
            have alternate leaves, often variously lobed, and
            staminate flowers in catkins. The fruit is a smooth nut,
            called an {acorn}, which is more or less inclosed in a
            scaly involucre called the cup or cupule. There are now
            recognized about three hundred species, of which nearly
            fifty occur in the United States, the rest in Europe,
            Asia, and the other parts of North America, a very few
            barely reaching the northern parts of South America and
            Africa. Many of the oaks form forest trees of grand
            proportions and live many centuries. The wood is usually
            hard and tough, and provided with conspicuous medullary
            rays, forming the silver grain.
