The materials on -which Jliquol founded this spccies include no ripe fruit. They
consist of some specimens (-without flowers and in very young fruit) sent to the Utrecht
Herbarium frooi Buitenzorg {Ilerh. Uort. Bogor. iYo. 1315). The leaves are ellipticlanceolate,
acuminate, of a pui'plish-browii, pale beneath when dry, and the very young
cupiiles have hu-ge thick scalca. Whether these scalos become united into lamellie with
age, or whether they remain distinct, cannot be determined from the specimen.
De Candolle, however, puts the species into Ci/clobaiani'^.
The material is in my opinion too scanty, and until more shall be forthcoming, I
think this species should bo kept in abeyance. These Utrecht specimens a good deal
resemble the fragmentary type of Q. nitida, 131., at Leiden. Mic^ucI says the leaves
resemble those of argentata and cncleisocarpa.

A spccies originally described by Blume, who had never seen its fruit. It is now
represented at Leiden by two leaf-specimens which may or may not belong to a
Cupulifer. lliquel (I.e.) suggests that they may bo from a cultivated specimen of Q.

The material of this at Leiden is ver}' poor, and the specimen in JL De Candolle's
Herbarium, con.sisting only of four leaves and young fruit, is no better. It is said to be
a Siunati-a species, collected by Korthaìs. From Blume's description of this, it must
resemble pruinosa in its furfuraeeous-lepidote vestiture, but the leaves arc said to be
narrowed and more elongated than in that species. The only fruit known is very y<iung.
QUERCUS SPILVCEL.\TA, Bl. Mus. Bot. Lugd. Bat. i. 304.
A species described from leaves which are still present in Blume's Herbarium in
Leiden. M. De Candolle suggests that they are Euphorbiaceous.

Sir Joseph Hooker observes {Fl. Br. Lid. v. 019) that two numbers of Wallich's
Catalogue, named doubtfully as Antidema, are really Querci in young flower, but
.•specifically indeterminable. These are No. 9144 Herb. Finlayson and No. 9145 from
Tavoy.
In the Kew Herbarium there is a drawing of a fine species of Qucrcus presumed to
be Malayan and attributed to a Mr. Parry. The leaves of this are elliptic-oblong,
cuspidate, 12 in. long by S-ò in. broad; the cupules are sessile, shallow, 2 ia. wide,
with refiexed, corrugated edges; the nuts are sub-spheroidal, 1'25 iu. in diameter, with
concave base and slightly convex, apiculate top.
