the apex, solitary, tracteolate ; the styles sub-divergent. Hipe fruit in stout sjnkes much
longer than tlie leaves. Cvpxdes -woody, solitary, sessile, iiifundibuliform, embracing the
vrhole of the glans except its broad, flattened, sub-concave apex, 1-25 in. in diameter find
•8 in. deep; the scales connate by their bodies; the stout, conical, rugose apices alone
free, and most numerous towards the upper edge. Glans strongly adherent to the cupule,

Sarawak in B o r n e o ,—B e c c a r i {Herb. Becc. Nos. 2100, 3123, 3169).
A very fine species, readily distinguished by its handsomely sculptured cupules.
The pubescence on the smaller branches is not deciduous, but becomes darker with age.

SPECIES DOUBTFUL OR IMPERFECTLY KNOWS.
LITUOCARPUS ? ANGUSTIFOLIUS, Miq. Fl. Ind. Bat. i. 1. 352 ; DO. Prod. xvi. ii. 104.
This name was given by Miquel to some leaf specimens from Sumatra. He subsequently,
however {Ann. Mas. Lugd. Bat. i. 118), declared the species as too doubtful to
be kept up, The original specimens (which I have examined) may possibly belong to
.some genus of Laurincui; they have certainly not a Cupuliferous/aci'es.
QUEECUS CRASSISEUVIA, hi. Mug. Bot. Lugd. Bat. i. 292; DC. Trod. xvi. ii. 87.—
Q. pseudo-Molucca, JBl., var. crassinervia, Miq. Fl. Ind. Bat. i. 8I9; Ann.
Mus. Lugd. Bat. i. 109; Wenzig in Jahrb. Bot. Gart. Berl. iv. 227.
A specios very poorly represented in the Leiden Herbarium, and by a single
specimen with loaves and young fruit (recmved from Leiden) in M. De Candolie's collection
at Geneva. Very possibly Jtiquel and Wenzig may be right in considering this a furm
of pseudo-Mohicca; but the material is, I think, too scanty to form an opinion upon.
The specimens bearing tliis name at Leiden were collected by Van Hasselt in Mount
Kendang in "Western Java.
QUEECUS CYRTOPODA, Miq. Fl. Ind. Bat. i. 8 6 9 ; DC. Frod. xvi. ii. 97.
A species from Sumatra very poorly represented in collections. The best specimen
which I have seen is from Buitenzorg {Ilerb. Hori. Bogor. 2228), and this has not the fruit
attached. In its leaves this specimen resembles Q. Lamponcja, Miq. It also resembles
Q. cyrtorhyncha, Miq., but the loose fruit associated with the leaves differs from that of
cgrtorhyncha in having the glans depressed tomentose.
QUEECUS ? DIVARICATA, Lindl. in Wail. Cat. 2790.
Young shoots thin, sparsely and deciduously furfui-aceous-pubescent; all other parts,
except the inflorescence, glabrous. Leaves membranous, oblong-lanceolate, acute, or shortly
acuminate, entire; the base acute; butli surfaces smooth and sinning, glabrous, except the
midi-ib which on the lower sm-face is adpressed-puberulous; the reticulations minute, but
