reticulate and decidedly stellate, lobed about half way to the 

 midrib with narrow sinuses and broad rounded lobes: fruit 

 subsessile : cup hemispherical, 12-14 mm - ni diameter; scales 

 ovate, acutish, moderately corky-thickened on the back ; 

 acorn round-ellipsoid, mostly half included in the cup. 



This species is perhaps nearest related to £>_. obtusifolia, 

 but the lobing of the leaves is much deeper and the fruit is 

 larger and suggests more ££. Utahensis and j£. Gunnison ii. 

 The pubescence and the texture and persistency of the leaves 

 seem to be more like those of £>. Fendleri with which I have, 

 therefore, associated it. It grows as a shrub 2-3 m. high in 

 canons of southern Utah.

A small shrub 1-2 m. high. Bark of young twigs brown, 

 dotted with lenticels and puberulent or glabrate, that of the 

 older branches and stems light brown : bud-scales brown, al- 

 most glabrous : petioles about 5 mm. long, puberulent : leaf- 

 blades 3-6 cm. long, oblanceolate or elliptic in outline, lobed 

 more than half way to the midrib, firm ; lobes oblong, acutish 

 or obtuse, directed forward ; upper surface pale bluish greeu, 

 sparingly stellate, glabrate and glossy ; lower surface paler, 

 densely stellate puberulent, light brownish, verv veiny and 

 reticulate : fruits on peduncled spikes ; mature acorns not 

 seen ; scales of the cup ovate, corky-thickened on the back. 



This species is nearest related to 4L- Fendleri. Its leaves 

 have the same texture, color and pubescence, but the lobes 

 are directed forward and of a different shape. I have seen 

 no specimens, except those of the type collection, that can be 

 referred here with certainty. Those collected by Havard 

 and cited below come nearest, but in these the lobes are 

 shorter and rounder.
