A spreading tree, 40 to 60 and e«en 100 feet in height. This approaches
Q h^siriz. Korth., and Q. cyrtorhjjncha, Miq., as has been pointed out under these
species. It is rather variable as to form of leaf and amount of pubcsconce. Typical
q. Surdaica, as originally described by Blume, has thiirner, more elliptic, leaves, with
more tendency to become glabrous when adult than Q. hjstrix. This species also
resembles (J. grandifrons, Kmg; but the latter has larger, more coriaceous, leaves,
laro-er fruit, and is almost perfectly glabrous. Oudcmann's remarks on the relations of
Blame's three species-pniiaos«, Smiaiea, and »)-i/i«&ii-are excellent, and their perusal
causes one to regret that their author did not pursue further his researches amongst
the rich Malayan materials in the Leiden Herbarium. Roxburgh's description of
Q muricata in his Flora Indiea is rather meagre; but his unpuWished drawing of that
species in the Calcutta Herbarium leaves no doubt as to its identity with Blame's
earlier published q. Suniaica. Several specimens named Q. Smdaua in the Leiden
Museum are, in my opinion, referable to q. pallida, Bl.

Inflorescence and young parts minutely griseous, furfuraceous-pubescent. Leaves
elliptic-lanceolate, rarely elongate-lanceolate, shortly and rather abruptly acuminate,
entir-e; the base acute; both surfaces, but especially the midi'ib and 9 to 10 pairs of
nerves, minutely pubescent or glabrous; the upper slightly shining; the lower pale and
dull; length of blade 3-5 to 5-5 in., breadth 1-5 to 2 in.; petiole -30 in. Spikes, male
and androgynous, in terminal panicles much longer than the leaves; the androgynous
spikes few. Male flowers solitary; the perianth 6-lobed; stamens about 12. Cupules
solitary, crowded, nearly sessile, minutely sericeous; the bodies of the scales broad
connate; their acutc apices alone free, when young hemispheric, when adult saucersliaped;
-65 in. in diameter, embracing only tiio base of the glans. Glans ovoid-globose
or hemispheric, apiculate; the base truncate, minutely tomentose, -75 in. long and "6 in.

This is one of the species on the borders of tasania and Cgclolalanns; for the scales,
although not united by their edges so as to form lamella!, are in vcrticels which resemble
laniellaj; and between actual lamelte with denliculato edges, and verticels of scales
olosily touchmg by their edges and with their apices manifestly free, it is indeed
difficult to draw a line. Miquel, in his original description, did not indicate whether he
considered this to be a Fasania or a Cyehbalanvs. 11. De Candolle puts it in the latter
but specimens m the Herbaria at Leiden, Kew, and Calcutta, named by Miquel's own
hand have the cupules more like those of a Pasania, and in leaves as well as fruit they
exactly resemble Schefler's typo specimens of his Irevi^etioUa, which ho referred to
Pasama. On tiie other hand, specimens collccted by myself from a tree in Singapore
have cupules so lamellate that I for some time considered them to belong to Q. Ewmkiia
OyoUlaUnm which much resembles this species in leaves.
