The mighty oak is today's #TaxonomyTuesday, as well as the focus of#NaturalHistories on BBC Radio 4 at 11.00: http://bit.ly/NHM-NaturalHistories-Oak
An oak is any tree or shrub in the genus Quercus, though the species shown here is Quercus robur, the English oak. The artwork TREE, by Tania Kovats, was crafted from a 200 year old plant and installed in the Museum in 2009 to mark 200 years since the birth of naturalist Charles Darwin, and 150 since the publication of the Origin of Species.
