     * California has designated two distinct species as its state tree.
    ** Although Iowa did not designate a specific species of oak as its state tree, many people recognize bur oak, Quercus
macrocarpa, as the state tree since it is the most widespread species in the state.
  *** Although no specific species of magnolia was designated as the state tree of Mississippi, most references recognize
the Southern Magnolia, Magnolia grandiflora, as the state tree.
