"The common low oak of the Rocky 

 mt-? and Wahsatch, ranging southward 

 to NM and So l.t. An examination of 

 considerable material shov/s that it is 

 quits variable in its foliage and in- 

 cludes se\eral ( reputed -species and 

 forms. The typical form has o.uon-? )vs 

 with acute or acutish entire divaricate 

 mostly triangular lobes, the sinuses 

 reaching half-way to the midrib. This 

 is also Q. Fendleri Liebm. With large 

 Ivs and the lobes Sometimes coarsely 

 notched it becomes Q. Gambellii Nutt, 

 and Q. Dousrlasii, var Neo-Mexicana, A. 

 DC, With the lobes more obtuse it is Q, 

 alba, var (?) Gunrtisoni, Torr; and wlih 

 the lobes less divaricate and more ob- 

 long, frequently notched at the apex, 

 and tne rounded or narrow sinuses 

 reaching often nearly to the midrib, it is 

 the more prevalent northern form, Q. 

 Obtusiloba, var dapressa, Nutt, and var
