Lithocarpus - tanoak is the incorrect common name

https://eol.org/pages/107883

The common name for Lithocarpus is stone oak, see several publications listed below.

The tanoak has been moved into a new genus, Notholithocarpus.
See tanoak - Encyclopedia of Life

Correcting this would avoid confusion between the Asian and Pacific Northwest parts of the family.

Thanks,
