flowers, and none of which have fruit. In foliage the specimens aijproach Oiiikimfiis

A species from the monntains of Western Jaya and of Sumatra, described and Sgured
by Blume as haying narrowly lanceolate, acuminate leaves, serrate in the upper "half,
entire and much attenuate towards the base, deciduously tomentose; the cupules solitary'
or connate in pairs, hemispheric, with adpressed, ovate scales in the upper half (tlw
scales obsolete in the lower half), and an ovoid-conic glans much lon<-er than the cupnle
The type specimens of this at Leiden (received from the Buitenzorg Herbarium) consist
of leaf-twigs only, with neither flowers nor fruit. M. De Candolle's specimen (received
from Leiden) is no better. The leaves of gemeldjlora, as described and figured by
Ehmo, are extremely like those of his Q. lurbinaht, but the acorns of this are tLse of a
Pasania {iurhinala, Bl., being a Ci/clol/alanus).

A species described by Blume from leaves only, and now represented in the Leiden
collection by a leaf-twig which Miquel suggests may be a sterile shoot of Q. indula.
M. De Candoile, however, considers this doubtful, and I quite agree with him.

Eomoan specimens without fruit in the Leiden Herbarium form the material on which
this specics was founded. I have seen nothing quite like them in any other collection
except No. 11472 ex Herb. Hort. Bogor. in Signor Beccari's Herbarium. This species
IS put into Gyclohalanus by M. De Candoile.

The author of this species does not describe the fruit, and his type specimen in the
Leiden Herbarium has none. It was collected in Borneo, fi-om whence, let us hope,
better material may some day be forthcoming. At present it is a doubtful species!

The acorn of this is unknown, and I would not have described the species but for
t ie tact that the leaves and male inflorescence, as characterised above, were fio-ured by
he late Jlr. Bentham (Rooter's leones t. 1313) as part of the materials on which he
founded his species q. JaJcinsii. On carcfully examining them, I am driven to the
conclusion that these materials do not all belong to the same plant. They consist of
three sets of thmgs-(l ) Griflith's Assam specimens with leaves and male inflorescence
(budya and Sanmoo, No. 4464, and Mislimi, No. 4472, Kew Di^trit)- (2) QriiEth's
B m ^ s e sp»imeus (banks of Mogoung, No. 4460, and Lamone, No. 4463, with perhaps
he Wall.ch.au sheet 9145). These have leaves and spikes with young fruit. The leaves
tap r much less and have shorter petioles than the former setf (3,® loose acorns in a
bott e, b e ^og on a label in Griffith's handwriting the words " Gastanea, No. 132, Maior
Jenkins, October 1813." The first and second of these do not, in my opinion, belong
o one but to two spccies. The loose acorns may belong to cither of these two, I
to a third of wh.ch no other parts have yet been eoUccted. Mr. Bentham published
.n the leones P f a t o ™ two figures of Q. JeuHnsU, viz. le. 1313, on which the Assam
