Taxonomy
[edit]The Balkan beech or Moesian beech (Fagus moesiaca), is considered to be the same species. It has been thought to be a hybrid between F. orientalis and F. sylvatica,[2] but the relationships between Eurasian beeches are still unclear, and it may show greater affinity with F. orientalis.[3]
