NORTHEASTERN ASIA. Korea: Quelpaert, June 8, 1908, and July 1909

This seems to be only a glabrescent form of Q. aliena, var. acuteserrata, which 
occurs occasionally in the whole region of this variety. Sometimes the pubescence 
is rather dense and the under side of the leaf is soft to the touch, as in Meyer's No. 
37 and in Silvestri's No. 339, though the fascicled hairs are separate and not matted 
as in the type, or the hairs are rather scattered and partly simple, appressed and very 
short, as in Wilson's Nos. 515 and 3658, while young seedlings raised from seed of 
No. 515, as well as those raised from seed of No. 517, have the leaves nearly glabrous. 
The lobes of the leaves of the glabrescent form are acute or acutish; in Giraldi's 
specimen, however, and partly in Meyer’s No. 37 they are more or less rounded, but 
the leaves agree in size and shape with those of var. acuteserrata.
