The Perak specimens of this have larger leaves than those from Khasia. The acorns
are also larger, and are covered to a greater extent by the cupule; but as they are all
young, this may be a transitory condition.
This resembles some states of Q. acuminata, Roxb., but this is much more hairy, and
the tubercles of its cupules are longer and softer than in that species.

A glabrous tree. Leaves thinly coriaceous, shining, elongate-oblong, entire, slightly
and equally narrowed to the acute base and apex; nerves 15 to 20 pairs, prominent on
the lower, impressed on the upper surface; minor venation indistinct; length of blade 1()
to 15 in., breadth 2-5 to 4 in.; petiole stout, -5 in. or less. Fruiting-spikcs stout, erect
4 to 8 in, long, minutely pubescent. Cupules wider than the glans, almost sessile, solitai-y,
woody, shallow, cup-shaped when young, saucer-shaped and with the edge slightly
recurved when adult, less than -5 in. deep and about 1 in. in diameter; the bodies of
the scales distinct, but connate and rusty, puberulous at the base; their apices pointed,
free, and glabrous; the disc by which the glans is attached large and convex. Glans subglobular,
apiculate, with a truncate base, nearly 1 in. in diameter, glabrous when ripe;
styles persistent until the fruit is half rijje, 3, cylindric, slightly spreading.—Zar« For. FL

Burmah, at Moulmein,—Falconer, Kurz ; Mergui,—Dr. J. Anderson.
Kurz, who saw this growing at Moulmein, describes it as ever-green. It lias been
found nowhere except at Moulmein and Mergui. It resembles Q. Amheraiiana, Wall, but
has much larger leaves and more globular acorns, which are inserted in shallower, wider,
rusty cupules, of whicli, when mature, the edges are recurved. In his original description
of this species, Kurz erroneously gives Upper Assam as its habitat.

Perak. In open jungle on a hillside at an elevation of about 3,200 feet {King's
Collector, No. 2188).
Mr. Kunstler, in his field note on this, describes it as a tree nearly 100 feet high.
It cannot be common, as he collected it only once. Male and female flowers aro
unknown. In its cupule tliis resembles Q. pallida, Bl., but the glans is quite different.
