CYCLOBALANOr-IS. 



\:\ 



ovoid-conic, much longer than broad; whereas in lineato it is hemispheric, usually depressed 

 and often broader than loi :. The species describt I as Q. llneata by Miqu< 1 [PL Jungh 

 10) is, as he himself pointed out (Amu. Mus. Lugd. J!<d. i. 117), Q. Junghuhnii, Miq 

 Q. acujninatissima, DC. I do not see why Q. Philipprnsk, DC, (Cuming, No. 8" )) should 

 not be reduced here. Ami I think Q. Kamroopii, Don. (Prod. Fl. X<p. 57), * probably 

 one of the forms of this. 



The varieties are as follow : 



Var. 1. Typical lixeata, Bl. I.e. 



Leaves entire. 



Western Java, at altitudes of 5,000 to 0,000 feet, — Blume, Tcysmmw, Junghukn 



Var. 2. Merkusii, Wenzig in Jah-h Bot. Gart. Bed. iv. 2'V1 (exd. lyn, H«r$- 



fieldii, Miq.). Leaves oblong-lanceolate, serrulate towards tlie a< inninat 



apex; cupule turbinate. — Q. turbinate, Bl. (not oi Roxb. or Liebm.) 

 Bijdr. 523; Fl. Jav. Cupul. 31. t. 18; Mus. Lugd. Bat. i. 30ii; Miq. 



Fl. Ind. Bat. i. 856 ; Ann. Mus. Lugd. Bat. i. Ill fexcl. syn. Iforsfirldii, 

 Miq.); DC. Prod. xvi. ii. 98.— Q. Merkusii, Endl Gen. PL Soppl. 4. 

 pt. 2. 28. 



Java, Bangka ; at high elevations. 



This differs from typical lineata chiefly in its serrate leaves. 



Var. 3. oxyodon, Wenzig I.e. 232. 



Leaves oblong-lanceolate, strongly spinose-serrato except at the base; under surfa< 

 glaucous; ripe cupules hemispheric, thin; 7 in. in diameter and -4 in. d ep; lamella- 

 about 7, sub-entire, minutely tomentose. Glans hemispheric, the base truncate, smooth. 

 •6 in. in diameter and the same in height— Q. oxyodon, Miq. in Ann. Mus. Lugd. Bat. 



i. 114; DC. Prod. I.e. 98. 



Khasia, at elevations of 3,000 to 5,000 feet,— Griffith, No. 4457 (Kew Dist.), Hooker, 



3Iann, Clarke, No. 40358 ; Naga Hills,— Prain. 



Var. 4. Lobbi, Wenzig I.e. 232. 



Youn°- branches, young cupules, and under surfaces of the leaves (even when adult) 

 minutely fulvous-toinentose ; secondary nerves transverse, very prominent; otherwise - 



in var. oxyodon. 



Khasia Hills, at elevations of about 5,000 feet,— Hooker, Mam, and others. This 



variety is confined to the Khasia Hills. 



Var. 5. Griffithii, King in Hoof: fil, Fl. B. Ind. I.e. 



Leaves sub-entire, much acuminate; otherwi.se as in oxyodon.

feet. 



Var. 6. Tbomsoniana, Wenzig I.e. 232. 



Leaves ovate-lanceolate; serrulate in the upper half, usually glaucous beneath; ripe
