usque ad 26 cm longis, basi acutis, apice tenuiter acuminatis, 
nervis utrinque 11 ad 138, subtus perspicuis; infructescentiis 
spicatis, fructibus sessilibus, cupulis obconicis, 1.7 cm longis, 1.5 
ad 2 cm latis; glans cylindraceis, 2.8 ad 3.2 cm longis, 1.2 em 
diametro. 
A tree 10 to 15 m high, the branchlets, petioles, and leaves 
on the midrib and lateral nerves beneath softly ferruginous- 
pubescent. Leaves chartaceous, oblong to oblong-lanceolate or 
oblong-oblanceolate, entire, 15 to 26 cm long, 4 to 7 cm wide, 
pale when dry, shining, the base usually acute, apex slenderly 
acuminate; lateral nerves 11 to 18 on each side of the midrib, 
prominent on the lower surface, arched-anastomosing, the retic- 
ulations lax, distinct; petioles 7 to 10 mm long. Infructescences 
spicate, peduncled, 10 to 18 cm long, ferruginous-pubescent, the 
fruits somewhat crowded, sessile. Cups obconic, ferruginous- 
pubescent, truncate, about 1.7 cm long, 1.5 to 2 cm in diameter, 
the scales in numerous rows, their free tips 1 mm long or less. 
Glans brown, shining, glabrous, cylindric or sometimes slightly 
narrowed below, 2.8 to 3.2 cm long, about 1.2 cm in diameter.

June 5, 1917, and May 17, 1918. In forests at low altitudes. 
In vegetative characters and in the shape of its cups this 
species strongly resembles Quercus ochracea (Schottky) Merr. 
The leaves, however, are thinner and much less pubescent, while 
the glans are entirely different in shape; in the latter species 
the glans are ellipsoid to obovoid and about as wide as long.

An erect shrub 1 to 8 m high, the branches rather slender, 
terete, rugose when dry, glabrous, usually reddish brown, the
