Quercus digitata Keller and Brown 123. 



Quercus cuncata Britton 224. 



Common in low woods of the Middle district and in meadows 

 from Monmouth County southward, also on the Coast strip and 

 Cape May peninsula. 



This tree is a constant associate of the Sweet Gum and Willow 

 Oak, the three having an almost identical distribution in New 

 Jersey and Pennsylvania, limited sharply on the west by the fall 

 line. 



The dark-glossy upper surface and lighter lower surface, 

 together with the long falcate terminal segments of the leaves, 

 give to the foliage a characteristic appearance. 



The outline of individual leaves varies greatly even on the 

 same tree, but I cannot by any character separate our Spanish 

 Oaks into two forms, although Dr. Britton credits 0. pagodcefolia 

 to our range. There is a form specially prevalent on the coast, 

 with long triangular leaves, with three nearly ecjujd, rather blunt, 

 terminal lobes. 



Fl. — ^Early May to mid-May. when the leaves are partly ex- 

 panded. Fr. — Autumn of the second season.
