 put it, viz. in Chamydobalanus. It is closely allied to Q. reJUxa. which has, however 



glabrous leaves and simple involucral spines

Young parts, and especially the branches, densely and minutely fulvous-totnent 

 the older branches pale, glabrous. Leaves oblong-lanceolate, caudate-acuminate; the edge 

 when dry reflexed; the base acute, unequal-sided; upper surface pulo, sparsely ami 

 minutely stellate-tomentose ; the midrib densely tomentose; lower surface puberulms, glab- 

 rescent with age; nerves 12 to 15 pairs, prominent on both surfaces, but especially on 

 the lower; length of blade 6 to 8 in., breadth 1*5 to 2 in., petiole -15 in. Fruit on 

 axillary tomentose spikes shorter than the leaves; acorns sessile, solitary; cupule fulvou- 

 tomentose, depressed; when young almost discoid, enveloping the whole of the 

 and completely covered by stout simple radiating spines, straight except at the extreme 

 apex which is hooked. Glans depressed, fulvous-sericeous.

This species approaches Q. discocarpa, Hance, and rrfleza, King, but differs from both 

 in leaf as well as in fruit. Mr. Wray has as yet collected no male flowers, and his only 

 pecimens of fruit are young. The figure which I give shows, therefore, only immatui 



fruit, but the degree of its immaturity it is impossible to determine
