crassum. 
This species closely connects the sections Chlamydobalanus and 
Lithocarpus, having the woody pericarp of the latter, but the nut 
entirely free from the involucre, though enclosed in it, as in Chlamydo- 
balanus. Griffith’s specimens are males and females in flower an 
with young fruits; the ripe fruits were received from Jenkins.—G.

Evidently allied to the Lithocarpus scutigera of Oudemans, but with 
a differently shaped fruit, and if that is founded on the Quercus costata 
of Blume, the foliage is also quite distinct —G. BenTuam.
