Q. indita Blume FI. Jav., t. 12. ; and our fig. 1848. The cloth-cupped Oak. Leaves oval-oblong, 
acuminate ; acute at the base ; glabrous; downy beneath. Cups tubercled, without teeth. Nuts de- 
pressed and hemispherical. A handsome tree, 100 ft. high, found on Mount Gedé. (Biume.) 
Q. urceolaris W. Jack. Hook. Comp. Bot. Mag., i. p. 256. Leaves elliptic-oblong, long and slender 
at the point, quite entire, glabrous. Fruit spiked. Cup somewhat hemispherical, with a spreading 
limb. A tree, with rough bark, a native of Sumatra. Leaves ‘alternate, petiolate, terminated by a 
long slender acumen ; coriaceous, pale beneath ; 8 in. to 9 in. Jong. Fruit,on lateral racemes. Acorns 
rounded and flattened at top; umbilicate in the centre, and mucronate with the three persistent 
styles ; rather perpendicular at the sides, half-embraced by the calyx, which is cup-shaped, marked 
on the outer surface with small acute scaly points, concentrically arranged, and whose margin expands 
into a spreading, nearly entire, waved limb. The ovary is three-celled, each cell containing two 
ovula, and is lodged in the bottom of the large funnel-shaped calyx. The acorn contains a single 
exalbuminous seed, placed a little obliquely. The spreading limb of the cups forms a good distinctive 
character, and renders this a very remarkable and curious species.

** Native of the Molucca Isles, A large and lofty

lasting long under water. Leaves 6in. or 8 in. long, 
and 3in. broad, on short stalks, with 8 or 10 irre- 
gular Jateral veins. Acorns short and roundish, 
furrowed in their upper part; the cup short,

be more species than one comprehended under 
the chapter above cited; but he does not give 
us sufficient marks to define them specifically.’
