1926 ARBORETUM AND FRUTICETUM. PART III. 
closely adpressed. (Spreng.) “A tall tree, a native of Portugal, in the south 
of Beira, and on the hills near Coimbra; flowering in May. It appears to 
be a hybrid between Q, Robur and Q. pubéscens. It is not found in any 
of the mountainous parts of the north of Portugal; but there it is probably 
changed to Q. Robur.” (Brotero’s Fl. Lus., ii. p. 31.) The Q. australis of 
the Horticultural Society’s Garden has the leaves glaucous beneath. What- 
ever species this oak may turn out to be, it promises to be a very handsome 
evergreen, as hardy as Q. J‘lex; and we hope it will soon be generally in- 
troduced into collections. 
£ 44. Q. Cook. Captain Cook’s Oak. 
Description. Leaves evergreen; oval or lanceolate-elliptic ; dentate, 
with recurved teeth; sessile, and green and glabrous on both sides. (See 
Jig. 1815.) Among the acorns procured by the Horticultural Society 
from Gibraltar appear to be some of a — 1815. 
species different from Q. australis; or, x 
possibly, it may be only a variety of 
Q. gramintia. As there are only two- 
years’ seedling plants in the country, very 
little can be said about it; but we have 
ventured to apply to it the specific name 
above given, in honour of Captain S. E. 
Cook of Carlton, near Darlington, who 
was the means of its introduction, who 
is an enthusiastic arboriculturist, and 
who has kindly and liberally supplied us 
with valuable information respecting 
Quércus, Pinus and other genera.

¥ 45, Q.FALKENBERGENSIS Booth, The Falkenberg Oak. 
Description. Allied to the section Robur, but with leaves short, and ser- 
rated like those of Q. Cérris. Fruit small and roundish, and reproducing 
plants with the same characters as the parent. Discovered about 1832, on 
the Falkenberg in Hanover, near Hamburgh, and introduced into England 
by the Duke of Bedford in 1837. (Booth, in letter; and Forbes’s Hort. Tour., 
p. 5.)

from the specimen in the Linnzan 
herbarium. Leaves on short downy 
footstalks, obovate, with numerous uni-

somewhat heart-shaped and unequal at 
the base. Fruit sessile. (Smzth.) Native 
of Spain and the south of France. 
Leaves small, 12 in. long, deciduous, 
obovate, very slightly sinuated, or, 
more properly speaking, coarsely tooth- 
ed; the lobes being very short, equal, 
and obtuse; the upper side polished 
and smooth; the under white and 
downy. Footstalks downy. Fruit ses- 
sile. (Willd.) In the Linnean _ her- 
barium are. specimens ,gathered by 
Baron Alstreemer in Spain, which = 
answer extremely well to the above 5, 
description, and not amiss to the figure ¢ wn 
of Dalechamp, which Lamarck cites with hesitation. In these, however, the lobes, or teeth, are 
acute, and the upper surface covered with minute starry hairs. There are also long, linear, 
recurved, ramentaceous stipules, that are soon deciduous. We do not scruple to consider this 
Lamarck’s plant at least, and probably Willdenow’s. (Smith in Rees's Cycl.)
