Q. 'BrosSii Bosc, 3fem. sur les Chines, 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.

 "Osier, Chene de Hai, Fr.) 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.
