This seems to be only a glabrescent form of Q. aliena, var. acuteserrata, which 

 occurs occasionally in the whole region of this variety. Sometimes the pubescence 

 is rather dense and the under side of the leaf is soft to the touch, as in Meyer's No. 

 37 and in Silvestri's No. 339, though the fascicled hairs are separate and not matted 

 as in the type, or the hairs are rather scattered and partly simple, appressed and very 

 short, as in Wilson's Nos. 515 and 3658, while young seedlings raised from seed of 

 No. 515, as well as those raised from seed of No. 517, have the leaves nearly glabrous. 

 The lobes of the leaves of the glabrescent form are acute or acutish; in Giraldi's 

 specimen, however, and partly in Meyer's No. 37 they are more or less rounded, but 

 the leaves agree in size and shape with those of var. acuteserrata.
