290 ART. I.—B. HAYATA: 
triangularibus pilis fusco-flavescentibus dense obtectis $ mm. longis. 
Perianthium cupuliforme, 3 mm. in diametro, subplanum obscure 
tenuiterque 5-6-lobatum, pilosum extus fusco-flavescens. Stamina 
12, subsessilia vel filamentis brevibus, antheris globosis pilis stellatis 
dense obtectis. Redimentum ovarii O. Fl. 2: 1-bracteati; prian- 
thium 6-partitum, segmentis 2-seriatim dispositis, extus pilosis ; 
stylus 3-partitus, ramis brevibus, stigmatibus capitellatis interiore 
tenuiter 2-lobulatis. Cupula late obconica campanulata, 22 mm. 
longa, ore 28 mm. in diametro truncato, basi rotundata, extus dense 
sericeo-villosa, fusca, 10-annulata, annulis prominentibus subglabratis, 
inter annulos sericeo-floccoso-tomentosa, intus ferrugineo-fuscente 
dense sericeo-tomentosa, pilis rectis patentibus. Glans cupula 
semi-involucrata, obovata, oblonga, vel longe globosa, 23 mm. longa, 
18 mm. lata, apice breve apiculata, basi rotundata, vel leviter 
contracta, primum sericeo-tomentosa, demum glabrata, castanea, 
cicatricibus planis vel leviter convexis glandem 3-plo in diametro 
sequantibus leviter rugosis prope marginem minute 13-cicatricosis. 
The present plant is near Q. pachyloma O. Seem. in the shape of 
the cone and cupule. The cupule of this plant is far larger than that 
of the other species. The former differs from the latter in having 
oblong, obtuse, and entire leaves. The leaves of Q. pachyloma are 
acute and dentate at the apex. I suspect if Henry’s No. 1367 
mentioned in Ind. FI. Sin. II. p. 519, under the name of Q. pachyloma 
SEEM. may not be this species.
