A tree rarely exceeding 30 or 40 feet in height, and 12—18 inches in 

 aiameter. " Branches somewhat regular but never forming a handsome head. - 

 -Lcam sessile, cuneate obovate, obscurely 3-lobed at the summit, very gla- 

 orous, the vems underneath prominent. Fruit not abundant. Germ^ gen- 

 erally m pairs. Acorn ovate, rather small. Cup shallow, on a verv- short 

 peduncle. ^ ' j 



This tree bears some resemblance to the Q. Laurifolia, but is, I think, 

 sufficiently distinct. It is neither valued for timber nor fuel. 

 Grows in damp, springing soils, around ponds and in shallow swamps, 

 t lowers Mnrch — April.
