Fagus taurica, the
Crimean Beech, is a
deciduous tree in the
beech genus Fagus. The
Balkan Beech Fagus moesiaca is considered to be the same species. It has been thought to be a hybrid between
F. orientalis and
F. sylvatica, but the relationships between Eurasian beeches are still unclear, and it may show greater affinity with
F. orientalis.
