A tree 60 to 100 feet high with a wide-spreading crown ; verveoumon in Perak. 

 There are in the Buitenzorg Herbarium leaf specimen^ iron the island of Kiou win h 

 are probably referable to this very distinct and handsome species. This is allied to 

 Ewyckii, but is readily distinguishable by the Ion- stalks of the usually aggl 



young cupules. It is not improbable that this may be the Q. ghmcrata of 1 -xhur h. Hut 

 Koxburgh's description (FL lnd. iii. 460) is too m igro lor identification, and ho lei 

 no drawing of his plant at Calcutta.

n4. Quercus Wenzigiana, King in Hook. jil. Fl. Br. Ind. v. 613. 



Glabrous, except the inflorescence which is minutely cinereous-puberulous. Leaves 



thinly coriaceous, oblong-lanceolate, rather abruptly and obtusely caudate-acuminat 

 entire; the base acute; upper surface shining; the lower dull, glaucescent; main nerve 

 indistinct, 10 to 16 pairs; length of blade 3 to 5 in., breadth 1*5 to 17", in.; petioh 

 •3 to '4 in. Male spikes longer than the leaves, solitary and axillary; or in lax spreading, 

 terminal, leafless panicles; flowers solitary or sub-glomerulate ; the perianth with <*» broad 

 lobes; stamens 12; rudimentary ovary large, sericeous. Female tpikes few, solitan 



axillary. Ripe cupules sub 



ped, embracing only tho hase of the gl 



in. to '8 in. in diameter and -15 to -25 in. deep; lamelke 5 or 6, bold, thick, seric< om 

 their edges entire. Glans depressed- globose ; the apex conical; the base broad and 

 truncate, smooth, shining, -5 in. to '7 in. long and '7>'> in. in diameter.

(1208, 3263). 



This species is allied to Q. Rassa, Miq., and especially to its var. latifolia. Hut this 



is distinguished by its larger, broader, less coriaceous leaves and much larger fruit. Along 

 with his leaf specimens of this, Maingay distributed two kinds of loose acorns,— one 



lly belonging to this species, and others belonging to Q. Wallichiana, Lindl. In hi 

 paper on Oaks (Jahrb. Bot. Gart. Berl. iv. 231), Dr. Wenzig describes Maingay'a specimen 

 No. 1527 as Q. Diepenhorstii, Miq. But having compared Maingay's plant with th 



fragment in the Utrecht Herbarium on which Miquel founded his Q. Dicpm/iorstu\ I am 

 satisfied that the two are totally distinct, and I take the opportunity of dedicating 

 Dr. Maingay's plant to Dr. Wenzig. Dr. Hance placed this in bis herbarium as 

 Ewyckii, Korth., which it is certainly not. The leaves of this are like thon of A 

 costata y BL, but the acorns of these two are totally unlike. This also resembles 

 Clementiana, mini, a species collected by Maingay in Malacca {Km Distnb. 15S >); but 

 this has smaller leaves, longer spikes, and different acorns.
