1922 ARBORETUM AND IFRUTICETUM. PART III. 
Nut oblong. Calyx furrowed concen- 
trically. (Smith and Don.) “ Gathered by 
Dr. Buchanan (who afterwards took the 
name of Hamilton), at various places in 
Upper Nepal, bearing fruit, in December, 
1802. A very large tree, whose wood is 
excellent. The branches, 2 or 3 together, 
smooth. Leaves evergreen, rigid, exactly 
like those of Q. glaica Thunb., but some- 
what silky beneath, and less glaucous; 
the young ones very silky. Stipules 
linear, hairy, longer than the footstalks, 
deciduous. Male flowers in pendulous, 
hairy, yellowish, shortish spikes, spring- 
ing from the buds below the leaves, 
whose scales are imbricated in 5 rows. 
Female, from 3 to 6, in solitary, axil- P 
lary, upright, stalked, smooth spikes, Ay. h

than hempseed; composed of several 
concentric imbricated layers, of which 
the outermost is smooth and notched, the rest downy and entire. Germen 
globose. Style very short and thick. Stigmas 3, obtuse. Acorns quite sessile 
on the common flower stalk. Cup rather smaller than that of our British 
oaks; entire and even at the edge; composed of 7 or 8 concentric, annular, 
imbricated, crenate scales, externally silky. Nut ovate, acute, smooth, and 
even, twice as long as the cup. The Parbutties call this tree Phullaat ; the 
Nawars, Gushi, or Paca stringali. We find great reason to think it may be, as 
Dr. Buchanan suspected, the same species with Thunberg’s Q. glatca. The 
leaves of his specimen show a slight degree of pubescence about the veins, 
but have not the minute silkiness of ours.” (Smith in Rees’s Cyclopedia.) 
Professor Don has given us the same information respecting Q. Kamroopii 
(which he is now disposed to refer to Q. annulata) as he did respecting the 
referring of Q. oblongata to Q. lanata. In both cases, his specimens were 
imperfect. He had named Q. Kamroopii in honour of “‘ Kamroop, or, more 
properly, Kamrup, a Brahmin, and a zealous collector for Dr. Wallich in 
Gurwhal, or Garnwhal, a country situated to the north-west of Nepal.” 
There are plants of this species 10 ft. high, against a wall in the Horticul- 
tural Society’s Gardens, and also in the front of a stove at Kew; and, 
under the name of Q. glatca, at Messrs. Loddiges’s. Mr. Smith of Kew 
informs us that it is decidedly hardier than Q. lanata.

Spec. Char., §c. Leaves oblong, mucronate, dentate; glabrous on both sides ; 
somewhat wedge-shaped at the base. Branchlets hairy. (Willd.) A tree, 
growing to the height of 40 ft. or 50 ft. in 40 years, and retaining its foliage 
till April or May, like the new Lucombe oaks. It is stated in Willdenow’s 
Baumzucht to be a native of Thibet ; but we have ascertained from Messrs. 
Loddiges that it is a hybrid, which was raised about 1795, or before, by 
Mr. Spencer Turner, in the Holloway Down Nursery, Essex, which was 
founded by him about 1787, and which now no longer exists; and that the 
plant at Berlin, which is kept in the conservatory there, was sent to Will-
