Distr. ? Martaban, Kurz, 996. — There is no fruit attached to 

 this specimen, which, except that the leaves are rather longer 

 cuneate at the base agrees well with the kSiamese plant. 



From Q. Helferiana and Q. Brandisiana the plant described 

 above is readily distinguished by tlie lateral leaf nerves which are 

 narrow and subprominent on the upp&r surface, and by the narrow 

 costa which is not depressed. 



Hosseus, ii. p. 385, records " Quercus oidocarpa '' a,nd quotes his 

 458 as belonging to that species. This may be a misprint for 438 

 as 458 is Vernonia Parlshit.
