App. i. European Kinds of Oaks not yet introduced. 



Q. faginea Lam. Q. cegi- 

 lopifolia Willd. (our fig. 1635. 

 from specimen in the Lin- 

 naean herbarium.) Leaves 

 on short downy footstalks, 

 obovate, with numerous uni- 

 form shallow lobes ; downy 

 beneath ; somewhat heart- 

 shaped and unequal at the 

 base. Fruit sessile. (Smith.) 

 Natives of Spain and the south 

 of France. Introd. 1840. 



Q. vegitopijofa Pers. Syn. 

 2. p. 570., Q. hispanica 

 Lam., has oval, sinuated, and 

 dentated leaves, the teeth of 

 which are close together and 

 almost obtuse ; green above, 

 and downy beneath. The acorns are pedunculated, and half-enclosed in a 

 smooth cup. The bark is cracked, but not corky. Native of Spain. 



Q. Brossa Bosc, Mem. sur les Chenes, p. 319. (Chene Brosse at Nantes ; 

 Chene nain Bonami) bears so great an analogy to Q. pyrenaica (see p. 853.), 

 that, according to Bosc, it may possibly be only a variety of that species. 



Q. viminalis Bosc, Mem. sur les Chenes, p. 316. (Chene Saule, Chene 

 Osier, Chene de Hai, JFV.) is found in the departments in the East of France. 

 It is common on the Jura, and on the mountains of the Vosges. It seldom grows 

 higher than 6 or 8 feet ; with a grey bark ; leaves resembling those of Q. pe- 

 dunculata, but much smaller, of a brighter green, and always very smooth. 



Q. aspera Bosc, Mem. sur les Chenes, p. 328. (le Chene apre, Fr.) has the 

 leaves petioled, coriaceous, of a medium size, elongated irregularly, but not deeply 

 lobed ; the lobes broad, pointed, and mucronated. The upper surface of the 

 leaf is studded wijth small tubercles, beset with stiff bristle-like hairs disposed 

 in stars, which are very rough to the touch ; the under surface is downy. This 

 species does not attain any great he'ght. 



Chene Lezcrnrien Bosc, Mem. sur ies Chenes, p. 328., is described as nearly 

 allied to the preceding kind. 



Chene Castillan Bosc, Mem. sur les Chenes, p. 328., has the leaves oval, 

 pointed, slightly tomentose beneath, with unequal teeth, each terminated by a 

 sharp turned up point. The acorns are borne three or four together on short 

 peduncles. Abundant on the sandy mountains of Old Castile. 



1G36 Q. lusltitnica. 



Q. lusitanica Lamb, (our Jig. 1636.), Q. Brasilia Pers. (our fig. 1637.), Q. 

 calycina Pair., Q. expansa Pair., Q. rotundifolia Lam., and Q. hiimilis Law., 

 are described in our first edition.
