Buckeye, any of about six species of North American trees and shrubs in the genus Aesculus of the soapberry family (Sapindaceae). The name refers to the resemblance of the nutlike seed, which has a pale patch on a shiny red-brown surface, to the eye of a deer.

What is a Buckeye? Ohio is known as the Buckeye State. But what exactly is a buckeye? The buckeye tree (Aesculus glabra) became Ohio’s official state tree in 1953. Native to North America, it produces shiny brown nuts with a light spot—looking like a deer’s eye, which is how the tree got its name.
