In western Hupeh and in Szech'uan this tree is common from river-level to 1500 

 m. altitude and usually as scrub or coppice growth; large trees are very rare. In 

 the type as described by Hance the leaves have prominent reticulate veins on the 

 under side. This character is very variable; it is prominent in Henry's No. 2294, less 

 so in Wilson's No. 522 and in Wilson's No. 523 it is scarcely noticeable; between 

 the extremes there is every gradation. The branchlets are always furrowed and 

 pubescent and the fruit ripens in one season. 



Komarov (in Act. Hort. Petrop. XXII. 74 [1904]) and others have reported this 

 species from Korea, but we have seen no specimens from there and are very doubt- 

 ful if it grows so far north. 



At Ichang this Oak is colloquially known as the Hsiao Peh-fan-li. 



A picture of this tree will be found under No. 0211 of the collection of Wilson's 

 photographs.
