Low woods of the Middle, Coast and Cape May districts, from 

 Mercer and Middlesex counties southward, common. 



A typical tree of the coastal plain crossing the Delaware into 

 Pennsylvania, but never passing west of the fall line, and push- 

 ing up the Delaware only a very short distance above Trenton. 



There is a broader-leaved Willow Oak ranging from Salem 

 to western Cape May County, which is perhaps referable to Q. 

 p. laurifolia, although the leaves on some trees at least show a 

 slight tendency to lobing, such as we find in certain hybrids (cf. 

 p. 411J. 



Fl. — Early May to mid-May, when the leaves are expanding. 



Fr. — /\.utumn of the second season.

 222. 



Common in woodlands throughout the State, except in the 

 Pine Barrens, where it is local and largely in second growth. 



A good deal of variation in leaf form occurs, some trees having 

 exceedingly deep cut lobes, while in others they are very shallow. 



* The record of Q. macrocarpa from Ventnor (Githens) in Keller and 

 Brown's list is apparently based on Q. stellata; that from Quaker Bridge in 

 Britton's Preliminary Catalogue was canceled in his later work.
