1. Quercus aliena, Bl. — Gemmis lanosis, fructibus solitariis sessili-

The fruit, hitherto unknown, I have now described for the first 

 time. Blume* considers this most nearly allied to Q. Prinus, Linn., 

 which belongs to Oersted's section Frinus of the Lepidobalani. In 

 reality, however, it falls into the division Lohatce of the Eulepido- 

 balani, and I have no hesitation in expressing my conviction that it is 

 not specifically distinct from Q. sessilijlora, Sm. I cannot indeed dis- 

 criminate it from some of Kotschy's specimens of his Q. ced/roruMy 

 retained as a species by Oersted, but no doubt rightly merged in 

 Q. sessilijlora by Alph. De CandoUe. I have from my friend M. 

 Maximowicz two varieties of this, named respectively by him acute- 

 serrata and micrococca, which diff'er far more from the type than it
