This seems to be the most common form of Quercus glandulifera in 

 China. The typical Q. glandulifera growing in Japan, Quelpaert and Korea 

 has long petioles (5-25 mm. long); leaves densely stellate-hairy beneath 

 and the veins and veinlets are covered with silky hairs so that the leaves 

 are silky when young. This typical form has not yet been found in China, 

 but the following glabrescent variety occurs in many localities.
