Hab. Assam. Mrs Mack* 



I am indebted to the lady of the Rev. Mr Mack of Serampore 

 for a most interesting collection of plants from Assam, during a 

 visit made to that country on account of her health. Amongst 

 other undescribed species is the present strikingly handsome 

 Oak, well marked by its foliage and acorns. The latter, even 

 in the fully ripe state, are clothed with a very fine down. The 

 cups, too, are singularly shallow, and the scales are subulate and 

 downy.
