This, which is conspicuous for its fine large leaves, is, though with 

 a much smaller fruit, apparently as near Q. induta, Bl. ! as any other 

 species. In appearance the fruiting spikes are much like those of 

 Q. (^Pasmiia) TFallichiana, Lindl., and on a casual inspection it would 

 naturally be placed next it. Although Oersted assigns to the Cyclo- 

 lalani " styli brevissimi v. vix uUi, inter se connati," they are, both in 

 Q. induta and the present species, as long, cylindrical, and free as in the 

 majority oi Pasanice. In fact, it may be said that these two sections 

 are less well-marked than most of the others ; for while such species 

 as Q. Teijsma7i7ii, Bl. ! with lamellate cup-zones leave no doubt of their 

 position, there are others amongst the Pas«?^/«, Q.hrevipetiolata, Scheff. ! 

 and Q. Wallichia7ia, Lindl. ! the cups of which are quite as annulate 

 as those of Q. {^Cyclolalanus) Miquelia7ia, Scheff. ! And it is sometimes, 

 with such incomplete specimens only as are accessible in herbaria, 

 difficult to feel sure of the position of an Oak. The solitary $ flowers 

 and plurilocular acorn of Cyclohalanus are the best distinctions, but 

 these are not always easily made out. 



9. Quercus Eancei, Benth., which, when I first described its fruit,* 

 I suggested belonged to the Cyclohalani^ has been located there by A. 

 De Candolle next Q. Harlandi, Hance. The latter has been correctly 

 transferred to the Eupamnice by Oersted, and there is no doubt what- 

 ever that this must go with it, as its ? flowers cohering in threes and 

 its free styles prove. 



10. Quercus {Pasania, Eupasania) farinulej^ta, sp. nov. — Arbor 

 40-90-pedalis, ramulis foliis inflorescentique dense albo-lepidotis v.
