DICLINI4 AMENTACE/E. QuercUS. 6?7 



V3ry variable in size, sometimes not above four feet, 

 at others nearly twenty feet high. '1 he younger Ml- 

 chaux considers Q. nana of Wiildenow to be only a 

 variety of the present species ; which I very much 

 doubt.

 tegerrimis nitidis snbtus pubescentibus, cupula scu-

On the banks of rivers, within the Allegany mountains, 

 and in the western countries thereof. Fj . May, June. 

 V. V. The Skingle Oak rises to about forty or fifty 



• feet. The younger Michaux considers t!ie wood of this 

 , species of little value.

In South Carolina and Georgia, f? . May. v. v. The 

 Laurel Oak, or as it is sometimes called Stvamplf^illoiv 

 Oak, is about fifty or siKty feet high : its wood, ac- 

 cording to the elder Michaux, is very valuable, and 

 almost preferable to that of Q. virens. For what rea- 

 son the younger Michaux does not mention this spe- 

 cies, I cannot tell, unless he considers it only a variety 

 of the preceding ; which most certainly is not the case.
