This name was originally published as Quercus "Mühlenbergii". The ICBN (McNeill et al. 2006) specifies that the character "ü" is to be changed to "ue". The ICBN also recommends that specific epithets should be written with an initial lower-case letter. Therefore the correct spelling for this name is Quercus muehlenbergii.
