W. W. ASHE. 
? X Quercus caput-rivuli, sp. nov. A tree 6-12 m. high, 1-3 dm. 
in diameter with somewhat pendulous lower branches. Bark on 
trunk at the base of larger trees nearly black, deeply furrowed and 
cross-checked, above gray and nearly smooth. Twigs slender, 
pubescent with short brown stellate hairs, partly persistent until 
the second year. Leaves prevailingly broadly obovate, undulate or 
rarely slightly 3-lobed at the broad apex, cuneate or abruptly nar- 
rowed or sometimes even rounded at the base, blades 7-14 cm. long, 
5-10 cm. wide, firm, dark green and glabrate above, at first more or 
less stellate-pubescent beneath, at length glabrate except for tufts 
in the axils of the 3-5 pairs of prominent lateral veins, which (and 
usually the midrib as well) divide up near the margins of the blades 
and consequently are seldom extended as awns; petioles 6-8 mm.
