Quercus brantii, the Persian oak, is a species of oak native to Western Asia, including Iran, Iraq, Syria, and Turkey.[2]
Quercus brantii (covering more than 50% of the Zagros forest area) is the most important tree species of the Zagros in Iran.[3]
Iranians use its seed in traditional medicine. The tannins extracted from Persian oak have contractive and disinfectant effects and show antibacterial activity on some gram-negative bacteria. Other useful products derived from oaks include fuel wood, charcoal and timber hardwood.[4]
