A tree, twenty to thirty feet in height, with a trunk occasionally eight or ten inches in diameter, 
and stout branches spreading nearly at right angles with the stem and forming a broad round or flat- 
topped head. The bark of the trunk is from one sixteenth to one eighth of an inch thick, with a dark 
red-brown surface broken into long persistent plate-like scales. The branchlets are coated at first with 
pale pubescence; this soon disappears, and in their first winter they are light brown and conspicuously 
marked at the base by the scars left by the inner scales of the leaf-buds ; in their second year they are 
ashy gray, silvery white, or light brown, and ultimately become light brown, and are slender, rigid, armed 
with straight sharp light brown spines two to three inches long, or often unarmed. The winter-buds are 
obtuse, one eighth of an inch across, and covered by pale brown lustrous orbicular apiculate scales. The 
leaves are wedge-obovate, pointed or rounded at the apex, contracted below into long winged petioles, 
sharply and often doubly serrate above the middle with minutely apiculate teeth, entire or nearly so 
below, and sometimes, especially on vigorous shoots, more or less incisely lobed ; when they unfold they 
are covered on the lower surface with thick pale pubescence and are pilose on the upper surface; at 
maturity they are thick and firm, pale gray-green and glabrous on the upper surface, the broad promi- 
nent midribs and principal veins, which are deeply impressed above, being more or less thickly covered 
with pale hairs on the lower surface, two or three inches long and three quarters of an inch to an inch 
and a half broad. The stipules are lanceolate, acute, glandular-serrate, and caducous. The leaves turn
