Q. Georgiana and Q. nigra were the only species in the imme- 
diate vicinity, and the trees in question appear intermediate be- 
tween the two. In place of the graceful port of the preceding 
‘species there was a certain amount of the rugged habit of the 
latter. The texture of the foliage is intermediate, and leaf forms 
suggesting both species occur on the same branches. Mature 
fruit also has traces of the characters of that of both the parents. 
The accompanying plate gives some of the extreme leaf forms. 
Quercus CATESBAEI X Q. CINEREA. 
Form A, in which Q. cinerea predominates (No. 1586). 
A small tree with the habit of Q. civerea, ranging from two and 
one-half to four meters in height, with a trunk diameter ranging 
from six to twelve centimeters, branching about one meter from the 
ground; the branches somewhat spreading, clothed with a smooth, 
striate bark; the young shoots tomentose with dark-colored 
trichomes. The leaves are narrowly obovate or oblanceolate, some- 
times elliptic or lanceolate, 5-15 cm. long, 2-6 cm. broad, entire, 
undulate and more or less crisped or partially 3-7-lobed, either on 
‘one side or on both, acute or acuminate at both ends, short-petioled 
or sessile, the upper surface light and very bright green, the lower 
surface lighter but rather dull and more or less tomentose, the mid- 
rib and nerves white but not prominent above, prominent beneath, 
the lobes short-apiculate; cup hemispheric-turbinate, 13-14 mm. 
broad, 10 mm. high, nearly sessile. (Plate 234.) 
Growing in dry, sandy soil,in high pine lands on the road be- 
tween Umatilla and Lake Ella (about two miles from the latter 
place) in Lake county, Florida. 
Form B, in which Q. Catesbaei predominates (No. 1577)- 
_ Asmall tree, with much the habit of Q. Catesbaei, reaching # 
_ height of two or three meters and having a trunk diameter of six t0 
nine centimeters, the trunk branching from within 3 or 5 dm. of 
‘the ground, the branches more spreading than in the former. 
Branchlets conspicuously marked with white lenticels, the young 
twigs white-tomentose; leaves mostly oblong in outline, some 
times obovate, 6-15 cm. long, 3-10 cm. broad, usually 5—7-lobed, 
sometimes 2~-3-lobed or nearly entire, more or less irregular 
and inequilateral, acute or obtuse at the base, short-petioled, 
the lobes narrow, acute and apiculate by a long, sharp bristle, 
somewhat tomentose beneath, the nerves prominent and conspicu- 
ous on both surfaces. Flowers and fruit not seen. (Plate 235) 3
