" Q. s- 9. — Acorns on a very short peduncle. Leaves with an unusually long petiole, of a darker 

 green, much narrower in proportion to their length than iu any of the preceding varieties 

 (See^'fi-. laTri.) 



" Q. s. 10. Leaves regularly and deeply laciniated, regularly notched, and almost serrated. A 



totally different specitnen from any of the preceding ones. [See Jig. 1577.) 



" Q. s. 11 The peduncles 1 in. in length, in some cases clothed with acorns on the sides, and 



with a terminal one ; some solitary and quite sessile. A very handsome and remarkable 



specimen. The acorns long, like those of «. pcduncul^ta. 

 " Q. s. 12.— Acorns on peduncles | in. in length ; the acorns long, but the foliage and buds 



decidedly those of Q. sessilitibra. ^ , , 



" Q. s. 13.— Acorns very long and pointed, sessile. Leaves numerous, of a darker green than 



usual. A very remarkable variety. {See Jig. 1578.) 

 " Q. i. 14 —Acorns round, and on short peduncles. Leaves broad, and yellowish green. 

 "Q.S.15 hpbyida.— Acorns on very short peduncles, and petioles longer than usual; thus 



approaching to Q. sessiliflbra, yet resembling a true Q. pedunculita. There is something 

 in the leaves, in their rather long petioles, and in the large buds in their axils, 

 which reminds us of Q. sessiliflbra; but still, taking the slenderness of the wood, the 

 colour of the leaves, their form, their number, the small buds, and the great length of 

 the acorn, the specimen appears to belong to Q. pedunculAta. This specimen, Mr. Bree
