Q. turbindta Blume Fl. Jav. t. 18. ; and our fig. 



1665. The top-shaped-cupped Oak. Leaves oblong- 

 lanceolate, sharp at both ends, sharply serrated 

 towards the apex, glabrous. Cups top-shaped. A 

 handsome tree, from 40 ft. to 50 ft. high ; found on 

 the mountain of Salak. It is nearly allied to Q. 

 glauca Thunb. ; but the leaves are broader, less 

 acute at the base, and not glaucous beneath. 

 (Blume.') The acorns are of a very singular shape, 

 and are enclosed in the cup. 



Q. linedta Blume Fl. Jav. t. 19. ; and our fig. 



1666. The parallel-veined Oak. Leaves oblong- 

 lanceolate, sharp at both ends, serrated or entire ; 

 glabrous above, glaucous and downy beneath. Nuts 

 small, scarcely reaching a line above the cup ; 

 crowned at the tip by a long umbo. A large tree, 

 attaining the height of 80 ft. and upwards. A native 

 of the west of Java, in woods, at elevations of 

 5000 ft. to 6000 ft. (Blume.) 



Many of the above species would doubtless prove hardy in the climate of 

 London. 



App vi. Mexican Oaks only partially introduced. 



Acorns of many kinds of Mexican oaks have lately been sent home by 

 Hartweg, and other botanical collectors, so that there can be no doubt that 

 several of the species enumerated above are already in the country.
