300 m., June 29, 1915, F. N. Meyer (No. 1485). Kiangsu: Shang-

In western Hupeh and in Szech’uan this tree is common from river-level to 1500 
m. altitude and usually as scrub or coppice growth; large trees are very rare. 
the type as described by Hance the leaves have prominent reticulate veins on the 
under side. This character is very variable; it is prominent in Henry’s No. 2294, less 
so in Wilson’s No. 522 and in Wilson’s No. 523 it is scarcely noticeable; between 
the extremes there is every gradation. The branchlets are always furrowed and 
pubescent and the fruit ripens in one season. ; 
Komarov (in Act. Hort. Petrop. XXII. 74 [1904]) and others have reported this 
species from Korea, but we have seen no specimens from there and are very doubt- 
ful if it grows so far north. 
At Ichang this Oak is colloquially known as the Hsiao Peh-fan-li. Mie 
A picture of this tree will be found under No. 0211 of the collection of Wilson’s 
photographs.
