are in the young state comparatively smooth, and do not completely envelope the g-lans;
but as they ripen, they become boldly but bluntly tuberculate, and finally envelope thè
entire glans, covering even the insertion of the styles. In texture the cupules are
brittle and crustaceous, not fibrous.

Young parts minutely pulverulent-pubescent. Leaves thinly coriaceous, oblong to
elliptic-oblong, shortly acuminate, entire, slightly narrowed to the sub-unequal base; main
nerves 8 to 12 pairs, alternate, prominent below; upper surface at first minutely
cinereous-pubescent, ultimately shining and glabrous, except the midrib and nerves; lower
surface rather pale, minutely furfuraceous-pubescent, especially on midrib and nerves;
length of blade 4-5 in. to 6 in., breadth 1-75 in. to 2 in.; petiole about '25 in., stout,
cinereous-pubescent. Fruit-spiltes solitary, axillary, erect; the rachis puberulous, minutely
lenticellate. Cupules solitary, sessile, ovoid-conic, pubescent, completely coverino- tlie
glans, aiid bearing csternally many subulate, reflexed, sub-ligneous, spine-like, scales;
nearly 1 in. long and •7-5 in. in diameter. Glans of the same shape as the cupule, and
completely covered by but separable from it, minutely tomencose, crowned by the
united styles.

Flowers of this are not known. Its affinities are with Q. lappac.ea^ Roxb., but its
leaves are less hairy, and its cupule comi^letely envelopes the glans, apparently even
when ripe.

Young shoots thin, dark-colom-ed, sub-glabrous. Leaves coriaceous, lanceolate or
ovate-lanceolate; the apex caudate-acuminate; the edge coarsely serrate in the upper
half; the base acute or sub-acute; upper surface glabrous, shining; the lower densely

6 partite; stamens about 12. Female spikes longer than the leaves, solitary,
axillary; the rachis lenticellate; the flowers distant, solitary, sessile, ovoid; their
involucres squamose-tuberculate. Ripe aeorns obliquely ovoid ; the cupule woody, closely
enveloping the whole of the glans, internally villous, externally minutely fulvoustomentose,^
and with many stout, sub-recurved tubercles which are sometimes obscurely
arranged in zones; length -6 to -75 in., diameter about -6 in. Glans ovoid-apiculato,
flattened on one side; the base truncate, adpressod-pubescent.—^l/i'^. in Ann. Mtis. Lwjd.

All parts, except the inflorescence, glabrous. Leaves thinly coriaceous, oblonglanceolate,
rarely ovate-lanceolate, acuminate, entire ; the base acute, rarely rounded ;
both surfaces smooth—the upper shining, the lower dull; main nerves 10 to 12 pairs,
thin, but slightly prominent on both surfaces when dry; length of blade 4 to 6 in.,
breadth 1-5 to 2 in. ; petiole -4 in. to '5 in. Spikes in large, erect, spreading, terminal
panicles, a few of them androgynous ; the rachises minutely cinereous-tomentose. Mala
flowers solitary, puberulous, about 6-cleft ; stamens 12. Female flotoers either in panicles
in distinct trees, or a few near the apex of the male spikes, solitaiy ; the cupules
from the first enveloping the glans; thin, crustaceous, sub-sessile, ovoid to ovoid-rotund,

of the united styles ; -65 in. in diameter and -75 in. to nearly 1 in. long. Glans exactly
fitting the interior of the cupule, minutely adpressed-sericeous in its upper three-fourths;

This is a very distinct and well-marked species. There is, however, some
confusion in the Wallichian distribution of it. As will be seen from the numbers of
his Catalogue above quoted, Wallich distributed specimens of it under no less than
four names. His No. 2791 is named Q. gkmerata, Roxb,, and is noted as from
Penang (whence Roxburgh's Q. glomerata is said to have come). On the tickets on
