rufous-pubescent externally. Leaves coriaceous, ovate to ovate-oblong, shortlv and 1 

 acuminate, entire; the base slightly narrowed to the petiole and slightly unequal; both 

 surfaces smooth, the lower glaucous when young; main Drives about 6 pairs, prominen 

 beneath; length of blade 3 to 4 in., breadth 1*75 in.; prtiolo about -5 in., rather slender. 

 Cupales woody, sub-sessile, campanulate when young, sub-hemispheric when adult, 

 narrowed to the base, '7 in. in diameter and *4 in. deep, embracing only about the 

 lower third of the glans ; the scales in concentric zon< s, when young fulvous- toman 

 externally, when adult quite connate; the zones about 5, unequally toothed, narrow 



qual in width and pubescent. Glans ovoid-conic, crowned by the remains t the 



united styles, glabrous, the base truncate, '75 in. long. — Hook.jil FL lir. Ind. v. 612.

A scraggy evergreen tree from 15 to 30 feet high. Kurz puts this with Pasama } 

 but the scales of the cupule are in zones from a very early* stage, and it must clearly 

 belong either to Oijclobalanopsis or Cyclobalunus, but to which it is impossible to de id 

 until male inflorescences shall be found. This approaches Q. Harlan . ILince, the leave* 

 of which, however, have much longer petioles: moreover, the cupule s of the two differ.
