closelv adpressed. (Spreng.) " A tall tree, a native of Portugal, in the south 

 of Beira, and on the hills near Coimbra ; flowering in Mav. It appears to 

 be a hvbrid between Q< A'obur and Q. pubescens. It is not found in any 

 of the mountainous parts of the north of Portugal; but there it is probably 

 changed to (2. A'obur." (Brotcro's Fl. Lus., ii. p. 31.) The (. australis of 

 the Horticultural Society's Garden has the leaves glaucous beneath. What- 

 ever species this oak may turn out to be, it promises to be a very handsome 

 evergreen, as hardy as (2. /'lex; and we hope it will soon be generally in- 

 troduced into collections.

Jig. 1815.) Among the acorns procured 

 from Gibraltar appear to be some of a 

 species different from (>>. australis; or, 

 possibly, it may be only a variety of 

 Q.. gramuntia. As there are only two- 

 sears' seedling plants in the country, very 

 little can be said about it ; but we have 

 ventured to apply to it the specific name 

 above given, in honour of Captain S. E. 

 Cook of Carlton, near Darlington, who 

 was the means of its introduction, who 

 is an enthusiastic arboriculturist, and 

 who has kindly and liberally supplied us 

 with valuable information respecting 

 (^uercus, Pinus and other genera. 



5f 45. (*>. FALKENUKUGKNsis Booth. The Falkenberg Oak. 



Description. Allied to the section Robur, but with leaves short, and ser- 

 rated like those of Q. Cerris. Fruit small and roundish, and reproducing 

 plants with the same characters as the parent. Discovered about 1832, on 

 the Falkenberg in Hanover, near Hamburgh, and introduced into England 

 by the Duke of Bedford in 1837. (Booth, in letter; and Forbes's llort. Tour., 

 p.o.)
