Q. semecarpifolia Smith (Wall. PI. As. Rar., t. 174. ; and our fig. 1646.) 

 is described in our first edition. 



App. iv. Oaks of Japan, Cochin-C/iina, and China, most of which 

 have not yet been introduced, 



Q. gldbra Thunb. Sieboldt states 

 that this oak bears clipping, on which 

 account it is very commonly found 

 round places of worship and in gar- 

 dens, where it is cut into the form of 

 pyramids, globes, and other figures. In 

 garden scenery, in Japan, where the 

 geometrical style is imitated, this oak 

 is used as the beech and the hawthorn 

 are in Europe ; but it has the advantage 

 of these trees in being evergreen. In- 

 troduced to the Leyden Botanic Garden 

 in 1830, and found there quite hardy.
