20. Quercus Lindleyana, Wall. Cat. 2782. 

 All the young parts, but especially the lower surfaces of the 1 nves, soft 



tomentose. Leaves sub-coriaceous, 

 abruptly acute; the edges undulat 



n> 



obovate to obovate-oblong ; the apex often shortly and 



base blunt; main nerves 10 to 12 pair- 



rather prominent ; adult leaves becoming almost glabrous above, exc pt on the mid 

 lower surface minutely tomentose when young, pubescent when old; length of blade 5 to 

 8 in., breadth 2'75 in. to 4 in.; petiole about -35 in. stout. Spikes velvetty-tomont. m . 

 solitary or 1 or 2 in an axil, or terminal, about as long as the haves. Ripe fruit-spike 

 much longer than the leaves, very stout, pitted, cinereous-pubescent. Cupules - -ile, 

 hemispheric, from -4 to *5 in. in diameter, connate in glomeruli of 3 to G, woody; the 

 scales united in old cupules into 5 or 6 thick, wavy, unequal, broad, spongy, pubescent rings. 

 Glans two-thirds exserted from the cupule, cylindro-conic, glabrous, about *05 in. long

Burniah, — TaongDong; Ava, — Wallich ; Lomatee,— Gallatly, CoUett. 



Kurz and Gallatly describe this as a small tree, 25 feet high (Kurz says it is ever- 

 green). This is a very distinct species, but it is very badly represented in collections 

 M. De Candolle, having seen only an imperfect specimen of Wallich's, puts it amongst 

 doubtful species. The Wallichian specimen in the Calcutta Herbarium has lamellate cupules, 

 but all others which I have seen have the cupules of Pasania.

i 



Young parts minutely ferrugineous-tomentose. Leaves coriaceous, elliptic-oblong, 

 entire, shortly and suddenly acuminate ; the base rounded or sub-acute ; both surface 

 dull when adult ; the upper sub-glabrous except the midrib and 9 to 1 1 pairs of nerv< - 

 which are minutely ferrugineous-tomentose ; under surface minutely puberulous, pale ; 

 length of blade 7 to 10 in., breadth 2*5 in. to 3*5 in. ; petiole *35 in. stout. Fruit- 

 spikes slender, longer than the leaves. Cupules solitary, cinereous-pubescent, cylindric- 

 conic, *35 in. deep and *6 in. diameter ; the bracts entirely connate except some of their 

 linear apices which are free. Glans cylindric-conic, finely sericeous, *5 in. in diameter 

 and *75 in. long. Male spikes unknown. 



Bangka, — Teysmann. 



The cupules of this species are intermediate between those of typical Pasania and 





typical Cychbalanus, the bracts being arranged in indistinct zones, but their tips bein 

 free. The type specimen of this species is Herb. Hort. Bot. Bogor. No. 11403, which 

 I have seen in Dr. Hance's and Sig. Beccari's collections. As pointed out by its author? 



this species comes near Q. Jmherstiana, Wall., and Q. Bancana, Scheff 



Var. Riedelii, King. 



Leaves broadly elliptic, sometimes almost rotund ; upper surface shining. 



Billiton,— Teysmann (Herb. Hort. Bot. Bogor. No. 11182) liiedel. 



This variety is well marked by its leaves. In its fruit it does not difr'er from the 



typical form.
