CYCLOBALANI 3. 



•;7 



A tree, 40 to 80 feet high. In its leaves this reaemblet Q. Ltmponga, Miq, and 

 Q. Sundaica, BL, but the latter is a much more hairy plant: in iU annate cupulas this 

 differs from both. The fragments named Q. cyrtopoda by Miquel eloseh resemble this 

 as to leaves.

Young branches minutely puberulous. Leaves coriaceous, shortly petiolat , elliptic

apex with a rather abrupt short acumen ; the base sub

unequal; upper surface glabrous, shining; the lower palo and minutely reticulate; when 

 young, minutely squamulose-tomentose, when adult glabrous; the midrib prominent on 

 both surfaces, the 10 or 12 pairs of nerves slightly so on the lower ; length of blade 

 4 to 6 in., breadth 2 to 2*5 in.; petiole *4 in. Ripe cupules thin in t auro, woody, 

 sub-sessile, saucer-shaped, nearly glabrous, about 1 in. in diameter and *2 in. deep; the 

 upper edge slightly revolute ; lamella' about 6, entire. Glans turbinate ipiculate, will 

 truncate base; smooth, shining, '5 in. long and -8 in. in diameter. Mali Jfot

A very poor example of this in ripe fruit exists in the (Jtreoht Herbarium, and forms 

 the type specimen of the species. Dr. Wenng (I.e.) consid rs that Main rays specimen 

 (Herb. Maing. Kew Distrib. No. 1527) belongs to this spceies. 1 cannot agi e in this vie* 

 for comparison shows that MiqueFs specimen is quite different from ft! iinga\ s. The latter 



I have named Q. Wenzigiana.

Young shoots puberulous or sub-glabrous. Leaves coriaceous, entire, rather broadly 

 _ r Jo or oval, abruptly shortly and bluntly cuspidate, rather suddenly narrowed n 

 the^ lower fourth to the stout petiole; upper surface glabrous, shining; under surtax 

 dull, minutely pubescent-lepidote when young, nearly glabrous when adult; nerves 10 

 to 12 pairs, slightly prominent beneath ; length of blade 3-5 in. to 5 in., breadth 2 m. 

 to 2'75 in. ; petiole '3 to 4-5 in. Spikes androgynous, on a sub-terminal fascicle, slight!} 



than 



the leaves. Cupules solitary, nearly sessile, woody ; when young, hcmispl 



and° boldly 3 to 4-zonate. Ripe eupule nearly flat, covering only the base of the glans, 

 •6 in. in diameter; the lamella indistinct. Glans ovoid-hemispheric, apt date; the b e 

 truncate, minutely sericeous; '75 in. in diameter and -75 in. long. Q. Bancana, Seneft,
