Of this species there are at Leiden only three leaf specimens and two cupules, and 

 there are only single specimens of it at Kew, the British Museum, and Calcutta. It is 

 suspiciously like a small-leaved form of Q. Sundaica, Bl., but i rather more floooulent- 

 tomentose when young. In the absence of proper material, I cannot form a decided 

 opinion about this plant, and I prefer to keep up the sped <. M. De Candoll puts this in 

 Cyclobalanus, but in the cupules, on all the authentic spe imeni which have the 



bracts have distinct apices as in Pasania. The bra.-ts are indeed in v. rtioeli, but th ir 

 bodies are not connate by their edges so as to form true lamella.

37. Quercus Wallichiana, Lindl. in Wall. Cat. No. 2778. 



Young shoots and inflorescence at all ages minutely cinereous-tom ntosc. Leave* 

 rigidly coriaceous, lanceolate, rather abruptly caudate-acuminate; the base acuminate; 

 edges entire, undulate, slightly recurved when dry; upper surface glabrous and ihinin- 

 except the midrib and 10 to 12 pairs of nerves, which are minutely furfuraceous- 

 puberulous on both surfaces and boldly prominent below; under surface 1 uniformly 

 covered between the nerves with very minute, pale pubescence; length of blade 15 in. 

 to 7 in., breadth 1*5 to 175 in. ; petiole 3 to *5 in. Spikes male or androgynous, 



solitary and axillary, or in small terminal panicles. Male flowers laxly <:1 



sessile; the perianth 6- cleft ; stamens 12. Female flowers connate in glomeruli of 3; the 

 styles short, conical, erect, divergent. Ripe cupules crowded on spikes as loin: as the 

 leaves, with thick short woody pedicels, discoid, %5 to *6 in. in diameter and -1 to 

 •15 in. deep, embracing only the lower part of the glans, minutely tuberculate-tomentose ; 

 the bodies of the bracts broad and connate, their apices alono being free. Glans 

 depressed, hemispherical; the apex conical, apiculate; the base truncate, minutely 

 tomentose; length to apex *4 in., diameter *6 in. — Ilance in Seem. Joum. Bot. viii. 4;

Penang, — Wallich, Maingag, King; Malacca,— Maingag (1460-2, 1530;, Griffith 

 (No. 4467?); Perak, — King's Collector (many numbers); at elevations of from 500 to 



2,000 feet; very common. 



A tree, 30 to 60 feet high. Doubtless from some mixing of specimens or labels. 

 M. De Candolle {Prod. xvi. ii. 101) reduces this species to Q. lamellosa, Sm., a 



Himalayan species quite unlike it. The real affinities of this are with Q. la 



Miq., and Q. Sundaica, Bl.

38. Quercus Sundaica, Bl. Batav. Verh. ix. 216. 



Young branches minutely fulvous-tomentose. Leaves rather thinly coriaceous, elliptic 

 or elliptic- oblong, sometimes subobovate; acute, or shortly and obtusely cuspidate, entire,
